Ya know, this is a good idea. I could add this info to the Dinosaur Genera 
List without a heck of a lot of hassle over the next couple of weeks. Might 
be a good thing to add synonym information, too. Something like:

Brontosaurus Marsh, 1879 [GS; JS => Apatosaurus]

which would mean "good specimen, presently considered a junior synonym of 
Apatosaurus."

Will have to work out a system of codes, particularly for situations such as 
"considered >by some< to be a junior synonym of."
