- I have not heard of that first word. Do you mean aarcheopteryx? - loosilu Jul 5, 20:07 17
  - No, I mean Apatosaurus -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 5, 20:15 16
    - they were sauropods. sauropods are gone, birds are theropods. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 20:17 7
      - Yeah, they're theropods just like T. Rex. Everyday I ask the covey of quail in my backyard to please not eat me. - crash davis 😺 Jul 5, 20:25 2
        
        lizards run the gamut from geckos to alligators. I'm afraid of one of those. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 03:51

    - Oh, I think that's the one that was called Brontosaurus, which no longer exists. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 20:17 6
      - nah, he back now. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 20:18 5
        
        is he? that branch is a mess. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 20:18 4
        
        bronto and apato are now considered distinct species. mostly the brontosaurus disappearing was a shit fight between paleontologists. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 20:27 3
        
        Bone geologists. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 5, 20:29

    - I've heard that name! looking now. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 20:16

    - they coin flipped it, it could really be either. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 20:16 3
      - God doesn't play coin flips with the universe! -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jul 5, 20:19 2
        
        God doesn't do taxonomy. Taxonomy is done by a bunch of academics at the ivies, AMNH in NY, probably a lot of other places - loosilu Jul 5, 20:22 1
