| Diplodocus carnegii, 1910
|
|
| This Diplodocus skeleton -- named after Andrew Carnegie -- was discovered by Carnegie Museum of Natural History paleontologists in the Badlands of southeastern Wyoming in 1899 and first displayed in 1907. This photo shows the museum's former Hall of Fossil Reptiles in 1910, dominated by the 150 million-year-old, 84-foot-long skeleton of the long-necked, plant-eating sauropod dinosaur. Affectionately nicknamed "Dippy," it was the second original fossil skeleton of a sauropod to be displayed anywhere in the world.
