Page 58 - Everything You Know About Dinosaurs is Wrong

There’s no such thing as a Brontosaurus
If you asked your parents whether BRONTOSAURUS was a real dinosaur, some really smart ones might say, "No! BRONTOSAURUS was really APATOSAURUS" and then they might show you lots of books that say that . . .
and then they’ll look all smug and pleased with themselves . . .

But here’s the truth . . . BRONTOSAURUS was described in 1879, at the height of the Bone Wars and for a while everyone was happy with this newly described ‘Thunder Lizard’.
But, a palaeontologist in the early 1900s took a look at the ‘BRONTOSAURUS’ skeleton and said that it was actually just another skeleton of a dinosaur that had already been named two years before – the similar looking APATOSAURUS. BRONTOSAURUS is a great name (and it’s easier to say!), so people kept using it even though scientists had said it wasn’t real.
But THEN, in 2016, a team of scientists carefully looked at all the DIPLODOCUS-like dinosaurs and discovered that lots of details had been missed – the back bones of BRONTOSAURUS were different from APATOSAURUS, it was smaller, and its skull
didn’t look the same at all . . . BRONTOSAURUS had been real the whole time!
125 years after it was first found, BRONTOSAURUS was brought back!
