1. Fruitadens meant to write Tianyulong, of course (proved that dinosaur filaments are definitely not restricted to theropods)
2. Eodromaeus (extremely early, extremely basal theropod)
3. Zhuchengtyrannus (even though vastly overestimated by some, this is still perhaps the 2nd or 3rd-largest tyrannosaur, and it illustrates how there are still many great things to find in Cretaceous Mongolia)
4. Siats (I guess everybody was waiting for the inevitable mid-Cretaceous carnosaur from NA, but I guess most wouldn’t have guessed it was going to be this big)
5. Nyasasaurus (this guy is potentially the oldest known dinosaur, and would finally extend their known stratigraphical range back into the Middle Triassic)
I’d be more comfortable with top 10

1.) Siats meekerorum: another giant theropod.
2.) Lythronax argestes: another member of the Tyrannosauridae, some of my favorite dinosaurs.
3.) Nasutoceratops titusi: Fragillimus nailed it.
4.) Montana Dueling Dinosaurs: Although I think it was found earlier than 5 years ago, I only learned of it during this time and was on the news a few months ago for an auction (albeit failing to sell). I think the ceratopsian was particularly interesting to me, and is on my list.
5.) Titanoboa cerrejonensis: 40 foot snake.

Recent discoveries have pushed the estimated size up to 14.3 +/- 1.3 meters long, or 47 +/- 4 feet! |

Sciurumimus = I guess it's obvious
Brontomerus = I like the kicking Sauropod
Yutyranus = Fragillimus already said why
Eodromaeus = brought a lot new insight on the early history of theropods and Eoraptor
Fruitadens = what theropod said

Without ranking
Deinocheirus - not really a new species, but you know why
Yutyrannus - already mentioned, evidence for feathers in large theropds/dinosaurs
Eleutherornis - evidence for eocene phrorusracids in Europe
Atopodentatus - "zipper reptile"
Sciurumimus - the little sensation in the little museum (next to Archaeopteryx)
Edit: Damn, 4 of 5 are theropods...where are my ornithischians?

My list
Top five:
1.Siats - Probably first known North American Neovenatorid and one of my favorite new described dinosaurs.
2.Yutyrannus - Large basal tyrannosauroid with feathers.
3.Titanoceratops - One of the largest ceratopsians with possible longest head of any known terrestrial animals.
4.Concavenator - The weirdest known carcharodontosaurid.
5.Lythronax - The oldest known tyrannosaurinae.
Honorable mentions:
Teratophoneus - Tyrannosaurid with relatively short head.
Acheroraptor - One of the youngest, if not the youngest known dromaeosaurid.

1. Sauroniops pachytholus - A huge allosauroid living alongside fellow carcharodontosaurus
2. Siats meekerorum - A giant neovenatorid found in north america
3. Concavenator corcovatus - A dwarf carcharodontosaurid with a hump on its back
4. Lythronax argestes - Earliest known tyrannosaurid, the gore king
5. Bistahieversor sealeyi - The tyrannosaurian destroyer

It's been five years since this thread had its last post, so, bump.

1.) BRONTOSMASH! 'Nuff said.
2.) Palaeoloxodon namadicus. 22t elephant. Possibly. A lot of people don't seem to realize the fact that its size estimate is based upon extremely old measurements of a femur fragment that Asier Larramendi himself said must be reanalyzed. And if they do know, they sure don't question it.
I'm forgetting a lot of other things. I may mention the tyrannosaurid skin and lips snafu, but that's simply for shaping how I now picture tyrannosaurids (and theropods in general).

Dreadnoughtus and Patagotitan. The dwarfers of P. namadicus.
Also Daspletosaurus horneri

We've known sauropods dwarfing P. namadicus for like, more than a hundred years...

Yes we have, but that was just for some added effect.

For taxa described in the last 5 years, I’d say, in no particular order: Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus, Yi qi, Patagotitan mayorum, Rhaeticosaurus mertensi, Lisowicjia bojani, Dakotaraptor steini, Ledumahadi mafube, Sachicasaurus vitae
