Apatosaurus was a brilliant dinosaur from the Jrassic, 150 milliion years ago. It was discovered by the famous paleontologist Othneil Charles Marsh and its name means deceptive lizard. It was herbivorous and 70-90 feet long. It is thought that it consumed gastroliths, or stomach stones, to help it digest the tough plant matter it consumed. One of the most remarkable theories in my opinion is the presence of a claw on its front limbs. It seems to me it wouldn't be able to use the claw very well though, seeing as it moved on four legs.
There are four accepted species of Apatosaurus. They are Apatosaurus ajax, Apatosaurus excelsus, Apatosaurus louisae, and Apatosaurus parvus.

Apatosaurus was an herbivorous diplodocidsauropod. There are three accepted species Apatosaurus ajax, Apatosaurus louisae, and Apatosaurusparvus. Brontosaurus execelcus was first though to be its own genus, than it was moved to Apatosaurus for a while, but paleontologists including Robert T. Bakker relized that several differences in the skull, means that Brontosaurus is once again a valid genus
Othniel Charles Marsh discovered one species of Apatosaurus, and named it Apatosaurus ajax. When he discovered Apatosaurus excelsus, though, he assigned it to its own genus, Brontosaurus. Later it was found that both Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus ajax belonged to the same genus, so Brontosaurus was reassigned to Apatosaurus excelsus.
