Amphicoelias altus (from the gr. "Hollow character on both high sides") is the only known species of the extinct genus. Titoniense, in what is now North America. Amphicoelias is present in stratigraphic zone 6 of the Morrison Formation

It was also similar in size to Diplodocus, about 25 meters long. Although most scientists have used this data to distinguish Amphicoelias and Diplodocus as separate genera, at least one has suggested that Amphicoelias is probably the largest synonym for Diplodocus.3 Amphicoelias altus, was named by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in December of 1877, although it was not published until 1878, for an incomplete skeleton consisting of two vertebrae, a pubis, the hip, and a femur, bone of the upper leg.4 Cope also named a second species, A. fragillimus
