(Cope,1877)
>> A. fragillimus (Cope,1878).
McIntosh sees "no reason not to consider A. fragillimus a very large individual of A. altus". (1998, Modern Geology 23:481-506). An old story states that Amphicoelias fragillium may have been the largest dinosaur. The story speaks of a huge vertebra 2.4 meters (7.8 ft) tall that crumbled to dust shortly after excavation. Only a drawing remaind. |
