Earthquake lizard go kaput. Sad. From the Late Jurassic, this 100-foot sauropod lived in the golden age of its family with so many damn longneck dinosaurs that it’s hard to keep them all straight. Why is <em>Supersaurus </em>still valid if <em>Seismo </em>isn’t? Sorry, it’s a bit of a sore spot for me. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
