HONG KONG: Remember when you learned your planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto?
Remember that? And then, in 2006, scientists suddenly declared that Pluto wasn’t a planet. They now call it a dwarf planet.
Remember how weird that was?
Well, that is kind of what is going on with the Brontosaurus right now. While you may have learned of the Brontosaurus in an elementary lesson of the dinosaurs, that name was actually removed from standard classification in the 1870s when a Yale paleontologist by the name of Othniel Charles Marsh classified Apatosaurus ajax and Brontosaurus excelsus as the same lizard.
In 1903 more fossils led paleontologists to agree that this is the correct classification. More discoveries in the 1970s continued to affirm this.
