Ultrasauros (was Dino trivia)

>NOVEMBER 8:    A giant sauropod, such as an Ultrasaurus, had a brain

Actually, due to some rather silly taxonomic events, the giant
brachiosaurid from North America is properly Ultrasauros.  Ultrasaurus is
official name of an undiagnostic sauropod fragment from Korea.
