Bothriospondylus ("excavated vertebrae") was a brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur. It lived during the Late Jurassic. Its fossils have been found in England, France, and Madagascar. These findings have consisted mostly of Vertebrae but pieces of hip and limb have also been found. In life Bothriospondylus's adult length has been estimated at 15-20 meters (50-65 feet). These dimensions fall between Brachiosaurus and Pleurocoelus.
