actually Apatosaurus...
According to my Dinosaur Larousse by Dr. Michael Benton, 1988
(bought in 'Gigante' [a store that no longer exists] for $19.90 [mxn pesos] )

Apatosaurus means deceptive reptile, it was described in 1877 by Dr. Marsh in North America.
It belonged to the Jurassic period.
I'd rather call it Brontosaurus, it means thunder reptile which is awesome!
