Re: Giraffatitan
Because there are significant differences between what is known of B.
altithorax and brancai I applied a new subgeneric title to the latter in case
additional fossils of the former verify the designation, or require a generic
separation. Wanted to do it myself since the African species deserved a cool
and
appropriate name. Although the Morrison brachiosaur skull tends to favor
separation, the situation has not changed enough yet for full distinction to be
proposed. If and when additional Morrison remains require a generic separation
then
it has to be Giraffatitan.
