	Barosaurus
		Barosaurus havde slanke lemmer ligesom Diplodocus, som den også er i familie med.
		Det viser også lidt om, hvor meget gætteri, der stadig er indblandet i udforskningen af den fjerne fortid.
		Mennesker har kun levet i det yderste af den sidste prik.

		Barosaurus ("heavy lizard") was a giant, long-tailed, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur closely related to the more familiar Diplodocus.
		Barosaurus was a large but fairly typical diplodocid that lived during the Late Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago.
		Barosaurus is one of the many sauropods discovered in North America during the "Wild West Dinosaur Hunts" (the "Bone Wars") of the late 19th century.

	Barosaurus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Barosaurus (BAHR-oh-sawr-us) meaning 'heavy lizard' (Greek barys/βαρυς meaning 'heavy' and saurus/σαυρος meaning 'lizard', referring to its heavy neck bones) was a giant, long-tailed, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur closely related to the more familiar Diplodocus.
		In fact, in many respects Barosaurus was very similar to Diplodocus itself, but with slight differences: much taller backbones (vertebrae) a shorter tail, and a much longer neck.
		Barosaurus lentus is one of the many sauropods discovered in North America during the "Wild West Dinosaur Hunts" (the "Bone Wars") of the late 19th century.

	WHAT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Barosaurus means "heavy lizard", and indeed, this is one of the largest animals that has ever lived.
		Instead of a set of teeth, Barosaurus had a singular peg at the front of its mouth which was used to rip leaves from trees.
		Barosaurus lived at a time when the climate was very warm with long wet and dry seasons, therefore its life was one of constant movement in search of fresh feeding grounds.

		The bones in its neck were each about 3.3ft (1m) long, Barosaurus is a very important dinosaur because it has been found in western United States and in Tanzania, East Africa, in rocks of the same age.
		It has been suggested that Barosaurus, and other large sauropods, used their long necks to feed high in the trees, just as giraffes do today.

		At up to 89 ft, (27 m) long, Barosaurus had a strong resemblance to Diplodocus, but with one important difference.
		Barosaurus had the same number of neck vertebrae as Diplodocus (fifteen), but each was remarkably stretched to create an astounding reach.
		Barosaurus is therefore one of the best rguments for this kind of behavior - at full stretch,a rearing Barosaurus could hold its head 49 ft (15 m) above the ground.

	Barosaurus
		Barosaurus was the first dinosaur to be found in the Black Hills of South Dakota, its remains have also been found in East Africa suggesting the connection of the modern African and North American continents during Late Jurassic times.
		The neck of Barosaurus was 30 feet long, longer than its closest relative, the whip-tailed giant Diplodocus but its tail was shorter and its hind limbs stockier.
		Gastroliths were discovered among its the bones, indicating that at least some dinosaurs swallowed stones to grind the food they consumed.

	sauropod necks again
		In 1991 the Museum of Natural History in New York City put on display a reconstructed skeleton of Barosaurus, a longnecked dinosaur that stands 15m from foot to head, Barosaurus belongs to the group of large herbivorous dinosaurs known as sauropods, which flourished in the Jurassic period, 200 to 150 million years ago.
		Some claim that it raised its head no higher than the top of its back, but others argue that the shape of the facets of The cervical vertebrae indicate a weightbearing function and an erect giraffelike stance.
		But the reptilian cerebral blood supply differs from that of mammals in having only a single pair of cerebral arteries, which divide into the internal carotid and a much larger spatial artery inside the skull.

	Barosaurus lentus vs. Allosaurus fragilis
		Barosaurus means heavy lizard, and was first described by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1890.
		It seemed to be another Diplodocus sauropod by the crew and not the scarce Barosaurus it was.
		Several museums were missing parts for their mounts so a tail section went to Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum, a section of neck to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., with the rest going to the University of Utah.

		In addition, the Apatosaurus louisae was housed in the Carnegie and in 1922 the most remarkable find--a Camarasaurus lentus-- in an almost perfectly preserved articulated skeleton, is now in the Carnegie Museum.

	Diplodocid Sauropods
		Supersaurus is a diplodocid sauropod; a group of sauropods with exceptionally long tails that end in a thin "whip-lash".
		Earlier authors had thought that Supersaurus was related to the long-necked diplodocid Barosaurus, but the new specimen makes it clear that Supersaurus is actually more closely related to Apatosaurus.
		One line of evidence for this supposed relationship was a series of very Barosaurus-like tail vertebrae that had been assigned to the original (or "type") specimen of Supersaurus from Utah.

	diplodocoidea
		Diplodocidae provides the stereotype for what most people think of dinosaurs in general and sauropods in particular: long neck, small head, long tail, hips much higher than the shoulders, and a plump-looking body.
		It was thought to be closest to Barosaurus, possibly even an old individual, differing mostly in the extent of presacral neural spine bifurcation (it is reduced in comparison to the latter), but new remains show similarities to Apatosaurus.
		gracilis (Janensch, 1961 [originally Barosaurus]) was actually a case of Janensch finding some gracile specimens and suggesting that they were a variant, which later authors enlarged into a species.

		Barosaurus war ein kleinköpfiger, langhalsiger und langschwänziger Sauropode mit relativ kurzen Beinen.
		Weitere Knochenbefunde lassen den Verdacht zu, daß der Schädel des Barosaurus (den man leider bisher noch nicht vollständig gefunden hat) einem Diplodocusschädel sehr ähnlich war.
		Der relativ kurze Schwanz des Barosaurus wurde durch einen extrem, bis zu 9 Meter langen Hals kompensiert.

		The holotype and referred specimens are redescribed here, and the characters present are reevaluated in light of current knowledge of sauropod phylogeny.
		Synapomorphies of the skull (prefrontal with triangular posterior process) and anterior caudal vertebrae (procoelous centra, presence of diapophyseal laminae, and presence of a pleurocoel) indicate that the Tendaguru material represents a member of the Diplodocinae (Diplodocoidea, Diplodocidae) and is therefore very closely related to Barosaurus and Diplodocus.
		It differs from all other diplodocine genera in several characters, such as robust anterior caudals with pleurocoels located in the upper third of the centrum and ventral excavations, and stout hind limb proportions similar to Apatosaurus (tibia:femur length ratio less than 0.64).
