THAT IS REALLY COOL THAT THEY HAVE A DINOSUR THAT THEY WILL NAME.....

Texas's state dinosuar,Pleurocoelus, has been studied once again only to find a disturbing realization. That is not the actual dinosaur. It was mistaken and now the state of Texas is probably going to change the name to Paluxysaurus because of it. Though it will probably an difficult process to change the name, it is a fact and it wouldn't look to good to have a dinosaur named something it's not.

the pleurocoelus had the mistaken identity. they will probably change the name to the paluxysaurus because of the mistake. it needs to be changed because they dont want to have a name to a dinosaur that didnt exist
The Pleurocoelus dinosaur was named Texas's state dinosaur but they are now renaming it due to a fault of discovery where they mistakingly named the dinosaur as one found in Maryland. They must rename the dinsoaur because they figured out that it's a new genus and species, meaning that the same name for two different dinos could cause confusion in later science research.

the mistaken identity was the pluerocoelus,also called texas state dinosaur .The name needs to be changed because of the mix up.They will probaly change the name to paluxysaurus.
