Summary
[edit]DescriptionDiplodocus sp. baby leg (Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic; western USA) (15212107347).jpg |
Diplodocus sp. sauropod dinosaur from the Jurassic of western USA (public display, Museum of the Rockies, Bozeman, Montana, 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 leg is from a baby Diplodocus sauropod dinosaur, interpreted to be about 2 weeks old. The entire animal at that age had a weight of <14 kilograms (<20 pounds). The femur (upper bone) is a cast of a specimen from Wyoming. The lower leg is reconstructed. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha, Diplodocidae Stratigraphy: Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic Locality: western USA |
