Info
Barosaurus (Marsh, 1890) = ?Gigantosaurus (Fraas,
1908 / Seeley, 1869) Barosaurus > Barosaurus lentus (Marsh, 1890) >> Barosaurus affinis (Marsh, 1899) Barosaurus > Barosaurus africanus (Fraas, 1908) >> Gigantosaurus africanus (Fraas, 1908) Barosaurus > Barosaurus gracilis (Janensch, 1961)
Fraas
thought incorrectly that Seeley's name Gigantosaurus was available
since it was then considered a junior synonym of
Ornithopsis.
(Preoccupied by Gigantosaurus Seeley, 1869.)
