http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=1f98ca92-aad6-432f-ab59-eda6cf86531b Pity the only evidence of this creature (late jurassic-early Cretaceous) is footprints. They reckon it is some kind of allosaurid. I wonder which one, maybe a new one? Place your bets now.

Actually, there is a small number of palaeontologists (most notably Robert T. Bakker) who reckon one species of Apatosaurus (A. ajax) - formerly known as Brontosaurus ajax is different enough from other kinds types of Apatosaurus to warrant it's own genus... which would be...
