What is another word for genus brontosaurus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs bɹˌɒntəsˈɔːɹəs] (IPA) 
The genus name Brontosaurus has an interesting history in the field of paleontology. Initially, the species of Brontosaurus were thought to be a separate genus of sauropod dinosaurs. However, later research revealed that the original specimen was actually a juvenile of a different dinosaur genus called Apatosaurus. As a result, the name Brontosaurus became a synonym for Apatosaurus. Today, there are several synonyms for the genus Brontosaurus, including Elosaurus, Atlantosaurus, and Astrodon. These dinosaurs were all part of the family Diplodocidae and had similar features, including long necks and tails, small heads, and massive bodies.
