Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  (CNN) Munhu ari wose anoda nhau yakanaka yokudzoka - zvikurukuru imwe yakakura sedhinoso. Pashure pokunge zita rayo radzingwa mumabhuku esayenzi kweanopfuura zana ramakore, fundo itsva inoratidzira kuti Brontosaurus ndeyemarudzi ayo amene, uye nokudaro inofanirwa nezita rayo rimene. O.C. Marsh akatanga kudana Brontosaurus muna 1879, pashure pokunge agamuchira mabhokisi 25 emapfupa akawanwa paComo Bluff, Wyoming, maererano neYale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Akafanana neApatosaurus yakawanikwa makore mashomanana akanga apfuura, kunyange zvazvo yakanga isiri yakakura kudaro, Marsh akatumidza iyi dinosaur kuti "Brontosaurus", kana kuti "mhumhi inotinhira". Apatosaurus yaiva nemabhonzo matatu muchikamu chetsoka uye Brontosaurus yaiva nemabhonzo mashanu, maererano newebsite yemuziyamu yacho, saka Marsh akapa madinosaur mazita maviri akasiyana. Gare gare zvakawanwa kuti nhamba yemakumbo e sacral ine chokuita nezera: sezvo mhuka inokura, maviri emakumbo e sacral anobatana ne sacrum. Nyanzvi yezvinyorwa zvekare Elmer Riggs akagumisa muna 1903 kuti Brontosaurus chaizvoizvo akanga ari Apatosaurus muduku, uye naizvozvo anofanira kuenda nezita iroro, maererano nomuyuziyamu. Emanuel Tschopp, nyanzvi yezvisikwa zvekare paNova University yeLisbon, Portugal, akatungamirira iyi fundo yazvino, iyo yakatora makore mashanu uye yaibatanidza kushanyira mamiziyamu 20 muEurope neUnited States kuti aunganidze mashoko. Kupfurikidza nokuongorora "zvinhu 500 zvomuviri womunhu", Tschopp akati akakwanisa "kuvakazve muti wemhuri" weDiplodocids - mhuri iyo Apatosaurus neBrontosaurus dziri nhengo dzayo. Tschopp "akatarisa mufananidzo mumwe nomumwe", maererano naJacques Gauthier, mutarisiri wezvinyorwa zvezvisikwa zvine mitsipa muYale Peabody Museum uye "akanyora mavara azvo", achiisa mashoko acho mupurogiramu inoratidza "marudzi mashanu eboka reDiplodocids". Vaviri vavo vakafanana neBrontosaurus uye vatatu vakafanana neApatosaurus, akadaro Gauthier. Nepo zvaakawana zvakafadza vateveri veBrontosaurus kwose kwose, Tschopp akati "ari kutarisira gakava pamusoro penhau yeBrontosaurus". "Tinofunga kuti tine uchapupu hwakanaka", akadaro, "asi ndinoziva kuti kune mamwe mapoka anotsvakurudza asingabvumirani zvizere". Nokuda kwe...
Zvinhu zvisaririra zvakamboshandurwa zita zvinofanirazve kuiswa muzvikwata zveBrontosaurus. Kudzidza kwacho kwakatora makore mashanu uye kwaisanganisira kushanyira mamiziyamu 20 munyika yose.
