Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus)

Othniel Charles Marsh discovered Apatosaurus in the late 19th century in the Morrison Formation, a geological formation primarily located in the western United States. The first specimen was found in 1877 in Colorado, specifically near the town of Como Bluff. This area is known for its rich deposits of dinosaur fossils from the Late Jurassic period.

The Apatosaurus, like many sauropods, is believed to have had gastroliths in its stomach. Gastroliths are stones that the dinosaur ingested to aid in the mechanical breakdown of tough plant material, helping to grind up food as it passed through the digestive system. This adaptation was crucial for efficiently processing its herbivorous diet, allowing it to extract nutrients from fibrous plants.

The Apatosaurus was a large dinosaur belonging to the category of sauropods, specifically within the family Diplodocidae. It lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 154 to 150 million years ago. Characterized by its long neck, long tail, and massive body, it was a herbivore that primarily fed on vegetation. Apatosaurus is often recognized for its impressive size and distinctive morphology among the long-necked dinosaurs.

The Brontosaurus, a large herbivorous dinosaur, lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 154 to 150 million years ago. Its fossils have mainly been found in North America, particularly in the western United States, such as in Colorado and Utah. Brontosaurus inhabited floodplains and forests, where it likely fed on the abundant vegetation. Despite its massive size, it was a gentle giant, thriving in a rich ecosystem.

No, a Brontosaurus could not fly. It was a large, herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, and it was characterized by its massive body, long neck, and tail. As a terrestrial dinosaur, it was adapted for life on land and lacked any features that would enable flight, such as wings or a lightweight body structure.

He needed bandaids for his dinosores.

a dino sewer hahhhaa get it??

The brontosaurus didn't use tools as he lived outside all the time roaming the earth.

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus excelsus was about 75 feet, or 23 meters long, and about 15 feet, or 4.5 meters tall to the highest point on the back.

NO!! T-rex was the king of dinosaurs. It lived 70 to 65 mya (million years ago).

Brontosaurus, another names for this dinosaur is Apatosaurus. Live 160 to 150 mya

SO apatosurus never seen a t-rex.

An autotroph is an organism that creates its own food using an energy source, such as sunlight. Plants and algae are the most important autotrophs. However, like all animals, Brontosaurus is a heterotroph, meaning that it must consume an energy source. Brontosaurus consumed plants to get its energy.

there neck was at least 20 feet long. They used it to get leaves off the tops of the trees they were eating from.

Brontosaurus is actually an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus existed from 154 to 150 million years ago, which was during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages of the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic era.

uh well it did have skin yeah i think they did

Apatosaurus lived between 154 and 150 million years ago. That was during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages of the Jurassic period. In short, the answers is yes.

T-rex can kill apatosaurs by crunching its neck to death with its very strong bite force.

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.

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus is only known from fossilized bones, which don't preserve an animal's color. However, the colors of a few small feathered dinosaurs have been discovered by examining the fossil feathers with a microscope. Three dinosaurs whose colors are known are Anchiornis, Sinosauropteryx, and Confuciusornis.

There was no dinosaur named Brontosaurus.

The name Brontosaurus was given when fossils from 2 different Sauropod dinosaurs, bones from an Apatosaurus and the skull of Camarasaurus were mixed up.

The Apatosaurus is estimated to be up to 26 meters in length (23 average).

The Camarasaurus is estimated to be up to 23 meters in length.

dinosaurs which were herbivorous only ate plants 'cos that's all their body could handle. eg; Stegosaurous, Tricerotops, Argentinasaurous ext...

There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Depending on the species, pterosaurs would have eaten any of the following: fish, insects, lizards, amphibians, small mammals, and even possibly carrion.

A massive meteore hit the earth to cause the extinction of all the dinosaurs including tyrannosaurus rex. No one has proven anything, but the meterite theory has pretty much been cancelled out of the plausibly theories. It is more likely that they evolved and formed birds or that the weather change caused them to die. Since someone redirected the question "How much does a Tyrannosaurus weigh" to this question, I will answer it here: Up to 6.8 metric tons (7.5 short tons).
