i want to know,Is brachiosaurus brancai a family of brachiosaurus or brachiosaurus is also called as brachiosaurus brancai..........
sauroposeidon,ultrasaurus.............these are brachiosaurus family as i know.so far i have not seen the skeleton picture of sauruposeidon in a musuem.i want to see it as it is 60 feet tall.i searched it,but there was no picture of it.i thought brachiosaurus was 50 tonnes as i saw in some sites.later i saw,in some sites they have mentioned it as 70 tonnes.i have seen the picture of the largest brachiosaurus skeleton in musuem,berlin.Is that a brachiosaurus or brachiosaurus brancai.
So,brachiosaurus brancai weighs 70 tonnes..........that means it is larger than ultrasaurus and sauroposeidon.


Can anyone explain me clearly that brachiosaurus brancai is a family of brachiosaurus or brachiosaurus is called as brachiosaurus brancai.

I'm not really up on my Sauropods but I might be able to shed some light.

brachiosaurus brancai is a "species" in the genus Brachiosaurus. The family name is Brachiosauridae.

Ultrasaurus appears to be a dubious name and may not be correct depending on where you get your information, it may in fact be "Supersaurus", which is a genus itself and not a Brachiosaur.


Here is a site that I go to once in a while, they have a fair bit of information and a forum where you may be able to get a better answer than I can give.
