I might have seen fossils of this one. The Royal Tyrell Museum  has a really good collection. I have certainly been in the parts of the world where they are found. It is a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by rocks that are as old as the dinosaurs and know that there could easily be fossils right under my feet.

In fact the largest mounted dinosaur in Canada is barosaurus. Royal Tyrell Museum has this skeleton and the name given for that specimen is Gordo and it's about 27 m (90 ft) long.




Apatosaurus is famous for once having the name brontosaurus, nonetheless both animals are closely related. It was a relative of diplodocus but was more heavily built. Apatosaurus is among the largest dinosaurs to roam the Earth. This massive beast weighs as much as 10 large elephants. It measured about 21 - 30 m (70 - 100 ft) long and weighed 33 to 73 tonnes.

Fossils have been found in North America (Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah).
