The Test of Time A Novel by I. MacPenn |
Hi, I have another question why did
Paleontologist rename Brontosaurus to Apatosuarus?
from Lee.B, age 14, Terre Haute, Indiana, United States; July 23, 2001
MIKE: It turns out that "Brontosaurus" are Apatosaurus were the same animal. Apatosaurus was named two years earlier, so its name gets priority. The whole explanation is given in great detail on page 267 on the book THE COMPLETE DINOSAUR. That page was written by Jack McIntosh, the greatest authority on sauropods in the 20th Century!
