Best Answer

In 1903, Elmer Riggs reclassified Brontosaurus. He realized that Brontosaurus was too similar to Apatosaurus ajax to belong to a separate genus. Thus, he reclassified Brontosaurus to Apatosaurus excelsus in 1903, and at that point the name Brontosaurus became dubious.

What is the proper address label format when sending to a married couple?

It depends on how formal you want to be. The most formal and sometime offensive to the bride is, Mr. and Mrs. (MALE FIRST NAME) (MALE LAST NAME). Example: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe Informal, just use the last name (LAST NAME)s or use both names (MALE FIRST NAME) and (FEMALE FIRST NAME) (LAST NAME) example: John and Mary Doe If the woman has chosen to keep her maiden name you should to use both last names. So it depends on how formal you want to be and the preferences of the couple on how they prefer to be addressed.
