Yes it is nice that Bronto has been restored, although it’s not really the same, rather more gracile than the original, which might properly be called the iconic dinosaur, in the sense of conjuring up an image in the popular imagination, despite technically not existing for over a century. Went through the same thing with that Allosaurus/Antrodemus business, but thankfully that was settled in favor of Allosaurus in the 1970’s. This sort of thing happens more often than you might think, even with living animals. I was thankful to get Wilson’s Snipe back after years of being lumped with Common Snipe; imagine the humiliation!
