Still Waters Posted April 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The iconic name Brontosaurus, once used to describe a family of huge dinosaurs, has been resurrected after being killed off more than a century ago. In 1903, scientists decided Brontosaurus was a more complete specimen of a different dinosaur. But many more specimens of plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs are now known, allowing scientists to carry out the most complete analysis of their bones. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-32205289 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorvir Posted April 7, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It was brontosaurus when I was a kid. I'm not nearly 100 years old, either. Anyway, I guess this is a good thing. I and nearly everyone I know are used to saying brontosaurus anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Noteverythingisaconspiracy Posted April 7, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2015 after being killed off more than a century ago. I grew up learning that they were killed off 65 million years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taun Posted April 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I grew up learning that they were killed off 65 million years ago. Didn't you know that Brontos were the reason the Souix were able to defeat Gen Custer?... They rode them into battle and scared the bejeebus out of the cavalry troopers... After that battle there was a concerted effort by the Gubment to wipe out the Dinos (Bronto's in particular) to make sure they couldn't be ridden into battle again... Them dying out 65 million years ago is 'revisionist history"... Edited April 7, 2015 by Taun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atuke Posted April 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 8, 2015 This is great news! Brontosaurus was always the #2 dino behind T-Rex. Let's celebrate with a shot of West Indian Lilac! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had books when I was growing up in the 70's that taught me about the brontosaurus. It was always my second favorite dinosaur. Behind the triceratops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
