Quote: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.Then I have seen it. I have been to the Royal Tyrell Museum a few times. I lived in Alberta when it was being built.
I visited the Drumheller Valley back in the 1960s when the museum wasn't even a dream. They had a small store front with a few fossils from around the area. The big museum had its roots in those few fossils.
We all still love Apatosaurus even with a name change. It would have been an impressive sight to see something this big walking along. I think they will find more fossils as they explore the dinosaur rich badlands. I would love to see a local museum get a specimen.
