Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) Extinct Dinosaur Bone Fossil in Display Case

Description: Apatosaurus (formally called Brontosaurus) bone fossil in great display case! This Apatosaurus bone fossil is from the Morrison Formation in Utah. The fossil is about 1" x 1".I am unsure which part of the dinosaur this bone piece is from.Fossil comes in an Apatosaurus display case and includes a laminated information card. All fossils sold are authentic fossils, no replicas. ApatosaurusApatosaurus, (genus Apatosaurus), subsumes Brontosaurus, genus of at least two species of giant herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs that lived between about 156 million and 151 million years ago, during the late Jurassic Period. Its fossil remains are found in North America and Europe. Although the genus has subsumed Brontosaurus formally since 1903, a body of evidence suggests that Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus should be classified as separate genera.Apatosaurus, which is considered to be one of the largest land animals of all time, weighed as much as 45 tons and measured up about 75 feet long, including its long neck and tail. It had four massive and pillarlike legs, and its tail was extremely long and whiplike. Although some scientists have suggested that the tail could have been cracked supersonically like a bullwhip, this is unlikely, as damage to the vertebrae would have been a more probable result.The size, shape, and features of the Apatosaurus head were disputed for more than a century after its remains were first uncovered. Certainty was clouded in part by incomplete fossil finds and by a suspected mix-up of the first fossils during shipment from an excavation site. The head was originally and mistakenly represented in models like that of a camarasaurid, with a square, snubnosed skull and spoonlike teeth. In 1978, however, scientists rediscovered a long-lost skull in the basement of the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was the skull that actually belonged to an Apatosaurus skeleton; it was slender and elongated and contained long peglike teeth, like those of a diplodocid. Henceforth, Apatosaurus skull models in museums around the world were changed accordingly. AP025
