Brontosaurus
''Brontosaurus'' (; meaning "thunder lizard" from the Ancient Greek, Greek words , "thunder" and , "lizard") is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that lived in present-day United States during the Late Jurassic period. It was described by American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879, the type species being dubbed ''B. excelsus'', based on a partial skeleton lacking a skull found in Como Bluff, Wyoming. In subsequent years, two more species of ''Brontosaurus'' were named: ''B. parvus'' in 1902 and ''B. yahnahpin'' in 1994.

It has seen widespread representation in popular culture, being the archetyp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
