But recently I found out some shocking news. The beloved brontosaurus, whom I've been very close to in my "travels" here on PR, never existed. Yes, that's true!!!

Shouldn't it be the Apatosaurus that doesn't exist? I mean, that was the one with the wrong head! *reads the story again* Quote: And as NPR notes, even the Carnegie Museum itself placed the wrong head on an Apatosaurus skeleton in 1932, calling it a Brontosaurus. Wait a minute, how can you place the wrong head on a dinosaur that never had the correct head to begin with?

Sad day for my relatives Date: 12/12/12 1:52 AM I hope they never declare the Maiasaurus non-existent. 67% of my total coolness (as determined by boys aged 6-11) comes from sharing a name with a dinosaur species. ------ 🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
