Diplodocus carnegii Hatcher, 1901 - sauropod dinosaur from the Jurassic of Wyoming, USA. (public display, holotype specimen - CM 84 & CM 94 & CM 307, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest terrestrial animals ever. They all have the same basic body plan: large body with four walking legs, very long neck & tail, and a small head relative to body size. Sauropods were herbivores, and are often perceived as holding their heads & necks up high to reach vegetation normally out of reach to other organisms. Modern reconstructions of many sauropod species depict them with heads and necks held close to the horizontal, or at low angles above the horizontal. This is the holotype specimen of the sauropod dinosaur Diplodocus carnegii. The mounted skeleton consists of 3 partial skeletons found at the same site. Diplodocus bones were found in greenish-gray calcareous mudshales (mudrocks; siliciclastic mudstones) representing an ephemeral freshwater lake deposit. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha, Diplodocidae Stratigraphy: Talking Rock facies, Brushy Basin Member, Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic Locality: Bone Quarry Draw (a tributary of Sheep Creek), Albany County, southeastern Wyoming, USA |
