Amphicoelias was a giant, long-necked plant-eater that lived about 150 million years ago. It had very long and thin hind legs, and its front legs were longer than those of its close relative Diplodocus. This dinosaur was about as long as three school buses parked end to end!1

Amphicoelias was named by the famous paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1877.1

Its name means 'biconcave' because the bones of its spine were hollow on both sides.1

Amphicoelias lived in a savanna-like environment with ferns and some tall trees along rivers.1

One species once called Amphicoelias fragillimus was later renamed Maraapunisaurus in 2018.1 2

The first fossils of Amphicoelias were found by a man named Aaron Ripley in Colorado in 1877.1

Amphicoelias was lighter and more slender than many other sauropods of its time.1
