Apatosaurus

Description
Source: Wikipédia
Apatosaurus est un genre fossile de dinosaures herbivores sauropodes géants de la famille des diplodocidés. Il a vécu en Amérique du Nord au Jurassique supérieur (Kimméridgien et Tithonien), il y a environ entre 156,3 et 146,8 Ma (millions d'années),. Leurs restes fossiles ont été découverts dans les États de l'ouest et du centre des États-Unis dans la formation de Morrison.
Selon Paleobiology Database en 2024, le genre a deux espèces décrites, Apatosaurus ajax et Apatosaurus louisae.
