Matt - It's my understanding that _Ultrasaurus_ (= _Ultrasauros_) is 
actually the same as _Supersaurus_, since the type trunk vertebra of 
_Ultrasaurus_ comes from the _Supersaurus_ skeleton.

_Dystylosaurus_, another mega sauropod based upon a trunk vertebra, may also 
belong to _Supersaurus_.  Or so I have heard - can anyone confirm this?
