Eobrontosaurus

Encyclopedia : E : EO : EOB : Eobrontosaurus

Eobrontosaurus ("dawn thunder lizard") is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of North America. It was a sauropod closely related to Apatosaurus.

The type species, E. yahnahpin, was described by Filla and Redman (1994) as a species of Apatosaurus ("A. yahnahpin"), but re-evaluation by Bakker in 1998 found it to be more primitive, and so Bakker coined the new generic name Eobrontosaurus.
