The brontosaurus doesn’t exist. The dinosaur was created in 1879 by Othniel Marsh, who was trying to one-up rival paleontologist Edward Cope. The skeleton he assembled was actually a young Apatosaurus, a fact left undiscovered until almost 100 years later.

Glad you enjoy the posts! Most definitely. The list isn’t too big unfortunately, as there are not a lot of palaeontology-esque blogs out there. These are the ones I know of, follow, and love seeing on my dash everyday. Not all of them are 100% palaeontology, so just keep that in mind. They’re all worth checking out. Hope this helps :)
