About Supersaurus

One of the longest dinosaurs ever found, with estimates from 33 to 39 meters. The neck and whip like tail each stretched roughly 15 meters. Fossils were first confused with a supposed giant nicknamed Ultrasauros, later shown to be the same animal. Known from several Morrison Formation specimens.
