I love Brontosaurus the most! I love Brontosaurus even more than you, daddy! Later... We have reclassified the species as Apatosaurus. Brontosaurus never existed.
There has been one paper suggesting that A. excelsus (or B. excelsus) and A. (or B.) amplus might be better classed as a different genus from A. ajax and A. louisae. That is a far cry from it being recognized as a valid genus again. Most of the stories about it actually made that clear, but ‘Brontosaurus is back’ is a much sexier headline than ‘a group of scientists think that Brontosaurus is actually a valid genus and are trying to convince the rest of the community of this, although it’ll probably take years for it to become the consensus, if it ever does’, so they went with that.
