In Depth
Fossils of Vouivria were originally attributed to the dinosaur Bothriospondylus, however study of the fossils combined with the dubious status of Bothriospondylus meant that by the 1980s the fossils that these fossils were no longer thought to be Bothriospondylus. In 2017 the fossils were used to describe their own genus, Vouivria. Vouivria was a medium sized brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived in Europe during the late Jurassic.
