Aepisaurus ("high lizard") was a proposed genus of Titanosaurid dinosaur (sauropod) of the Early Cretaceous period. A single arm bone (a humerus) was found in France in 1853, from which it was deduced that it would have been about 50-55 feet (15-17 m) long, weighing roughly 10000 kg. The genus, and it type species A. elephantinus, was named by Paul Gervais. However, due to the paucity of remains, it is no longer accepted as a legitimate genus. In biology, a genus (plural genera) is a grouping in the classification of living organisms having one or more related and morphologically similar species. ...
