Amphicoelias

Description

Yes, Amphicoelias fragillimus does not exist and it is impossible to restorate it accurately. A. altus is the type species, and although it has been proposed as a synonym of Diplodocus, it has many symplesyomorphies shared with more basal diplodocoids.
So, Amphicoelias exists, but A. fragillimus no (like Kelmayisaurus and K. gigantus).
...I hate the scientifically unclear taxa...

A. fragillimus is it's own genus, known as Maraapunisaurus, and no it is not dubious.
