I used to be a fanatic dinophile when I was a kid ans I recall that the
Brontosaur was always found (in the few limited specimens they had then)
with a skull that came from a different dinosaur and that the true skull
was sometimes found in the general area, but never attached. I guess the
wrong-skull was constructed improperly to connect to the Brontosaur's neck
and some one figured this out and went looking for the right-skull.
Sounds wierd eh? That was the official story when I was still keeping up
with Dinosaurs 10-15 years ago.
