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.

I do know you saw it because you said before that you went to that museum. I saw that skeleton in a documentary. Paleontologist David Evans is Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum's Associate Curator and he introduced the barosaurus. 
        Indeed i love apatosaurus, it is one of my favorite veggie beasts. Apatosaurus is not changed from brontosaurus. They removed the name brontosaurus before and it is introduced again after longtime in 2015. They classified it as different from apatosaurus even though not all paleontologists seem to agree with it.




Brontosaurus is one of the most famous and best-known dinosaurs of all time. It measured about 22 m (72 ft) lin length.

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