The UnMuseum – What Happened to the Brontosaurus?

The UnMuseum: What Happened to the Brontosaurus?.

Thousands of children knew this dinosaur by that name. It even appeared as the symbol of a major oil company and starred as one of four ancient, extinct reptiles featured on U.S. postal stamps.

In the last 20 years, however, this name has disappeared from books and museum exhibits about dinosaurs. Whatever happened to this famous beast?

Last month I read an article where some scientist claims Pterodactyls couldn’t fly. What a bunch of haters.
