Brontosaurus, the Thunder Lizard
Manage episode 343646292 series 2826012

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Brontosaurus, a real dinosaur of a dinosaur that wasn’t valid for a while until suddenly it was, kind of like the inverse of Pluto. From the Late Jurassic, this 70-foot diplodocid sauropod was a bit chunkier than Apatosaurus with a slightly thicker neck, but otherwise it was basically the same animal at the same time and place. And yet Dracorex and Stygimoloch are considered young Pachycephalosaurus despite their completely different heads… sometimes paleontology makes zero sense.
