Ultrasaurus is a large sauropod from the Cretaceous period that lived in South Korea. A holotype specimen of Ultrasaurus from the Jurassic period in Colorado turned out to be a mixture of Supersaurus and Brachiosaurus, meaning it was not even a true genus. Ultrasaurus is now just an alternate name for the dinosaur officially known as Supersaurus.
