	Supersaurus - Dinosaur - Enchanted Learning Software
		Supersaurus probably travelled in herds and may have migrated when they depleted their local food supply.
		Supersaurus moved slowly on four legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).
		Supersaurus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.

	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.
		The WDC specimen of Supersaurus shows that this was a mistake, and that Supersaurus had very Apatosaurus-like tail vertebrae.

	Encyclopedia: Supersaurus
		Genera Subfamily Apatosaurinae: Apatosaurus Eobrontosaurus Subfamily Diplodocinae: Barosaurus Diplodocus Seismosaurus Supersaurus Diplodocids, or members of the family Diplodocidae, are sauropod dinosaurs such as the Diplodocus and the Apatosaurus.
		Supersaurus was discovered in a Colorado rock formation in 1972, alongside bones of a brachiosaurus.
		Unfortunately, the specimen is actually a chimera, composed of bones from a Supersaurus and a large Brachiosaurus.

		Supersaurus is a diplodocid, characterized by a long, narrow head, very long neck, and a tail that ended in a tapering whiplash.
		Notes: Found in Zimbabwe and Arizona, Syntarsus was a slender predator with short arms and long legs with fused foot bones.

		Supersaurus was discovered when a huge shoulder blade, measuring over 2 meters in height, was found in the Dry Mesa quarry in the U.S. state of Colorado.
		It had a very long neck and a snake-like tail that it is believed to have used like a whip to protect itself.

	Re: "Supersaurus"
		Here Supersaurus vivianae is unequivocally referred to the family Diplodocidae as a distinctive very large genus and species, and Ultrasauros macintoshi is made a junior subjective synonym of Supersaurus vivianae because the holotype vertebra of Ultrasauros macintoshi is a diplodocid vertebra almost certainly part of the Supersaurus vivianae individual.
		As we all know, two giant sauropods were found in the same quarry, their bones jumbled together and difficult to assign to one individual or to the other.
		It is likely that Supersaurus is a junior synonym of Cope's giant Amphicoelias, but without better material this cannot be established beyond reasonable doubt.

	What were the longest/heaviest dinosaurs?
		It's tempting to think that the whole animal was 2.25 times as long as Diplodocus, but that won't do: the height of its dorsal vertebrae is ``only'' 1.5 times that of Diplodocus's, suggesting that the neck of Supersaurus was disproportionately long for its body, as in Barosaurus.
		Nevertheless, it's hard to imagine the animal's total length as much less than 40m (130 feet), with a weight in the region of 40-50 tons.
		David Gillette, its describer, estimated its length at about 45m (150 feet), based in part on on comparison of tail vertebrae to juvenile elements in the Smithsonian's mounted Diplodocus, which is actually a composite.

		It is unknown how far the flow traveled prior to emplacement, however, because delicate portions of bones are well preserved (such as 2-5mm thin laminae and 3 m ribs), the flow probably contained the skeletal elements prior to mobilization traveling as part of the internal plug.
		Supersaurus is estimated to be around 30-35 tonnes (Lovelace et al., unpubl.
		Therefore both the Dry Mesa Supersaurus and the Jimbo Quarry Supersaurus skeletons are thought to be the result of drought-induced mortality and catastrophic burial.

		At first thought to be a brachiosaurid-like animal, this is instead a very large diplodocid.
		In addition, Dystylosaurus edwini Jensen 1985, based on a dorsal, which may have been bifurcated, and originally thought of as a large brachiosaurid, is probably part of the holotype of Supersaurus.
		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.

		Er is maar een gedeelelijk skelet gevonden zonder schedel, dus veel hebben de paleontologen afgekeken bij andere dieren uit deze familie, en aan de lengte van de wel gevonden botten kunnen de geleerden opmaken hoe groot Supersaurus ongeveer geweest moest zijn.
		De hieronder afgebeelde Ultrasaurus is later omgedoopt in Ultrasauros, maar na verder onderzoek is gebleken dat hij waarschijnlijk meer op Supersaurus heeft geleken dan op Brachiosaurus, die model heeft gestaan voor de onderstaande tekening.
		Maar verdere studie heeft nu aan het licht gebracht dat voor de reconstructie van Ultrasauros skeletdelen zijn gebruikt van een Brachiosaurus en een nog grotere Supersaurus, zodat de naam Ultrasauros nu een synoniem is voor Supersaurus.

		The former giant’s name was Ultrasaurus, and its remains (part of a shoulder and several vertebrae) had been discovered in the 1970s in a quarry in western Colorado--and nowhere else.
		And by transferring so many of them to Supersaurus, Curtice has turned that dinosaur into a 134-foot-long beast--which he thinks is the longest dinosaur ever found.
		Since its pelvis is only partially fused to the spine, Curtice thinks this Supersaurus wasn’t fully grown when it died.
