Dippy is a composite Diplodocus skeleton in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and the holotype of the species Diplodocus carnegii.It is considered the most famous single dinosaur skeleton in the world, due to the numerous plaster casts donated by Andrew Carnegie to several major museums around the world at the beginning of the 20th century.
The team of paleontologists who discovered, recovered and assembled the 150-million-year-old bones from a remote site in Utah believe the find is the most complete long-necked dinosaur skeleton on ...
Baryonyx (/ ˌ b ær i ˈ ɒ n ɪ k s /) is a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived in the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous period, about 130–125 million years ago.The first skeleton was discovered in 1983 in the Smokejack Clay Pit, of Surrey, England, in sediments of the Weald Clay Formation, and became the holotype specimen of Baryonyx walkeri, named by palaeontologists Alan J ...
Another Diplodocus skeleton was collected at the Carnegie Quarry in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, by the National Museum of Natural History in 1923. The skeleton (USNM V 10865) is one of the most complete known from Diplodocus , consisting of a semi-articulated partial postcranial skeleton, including a well preserved dorsal column.
A nearly complete and intact dinosaur skeleton has been excavated in France. The specimen is a Titanosaur, one of the largest dinosaurs of its time. 70 million-year-old giant dinosaur skeleton ...
Reconstructed adult and juvenile Spinophorosaurus skeletons (A, B) compared in size with adult and juvenile giraffes (C, D) and a human (E). The holotype specimen was initially estimated to have been around 13 metres (43 ft) in length when measured along the vertebral column, while the paratype was about 13 per cent larger, measuring around 14 m (46 ft).
Bony parts include the skull, the axial skeleton (spine and ribs), and the appendicular skeleton (girdles and limbs). [21] Most of these bones are paired , with a mirror-inverted counterpart on the other side of the body, or unpaired , in which case they usually lie at the body midline and are divided by the latter into two symmetrical halves ...
Bucky is one of the few dinosaur fossils found with a furcula; [66] Bucky's furcula was the first one found for the genus Tyrannosaurus. [67] Bucky also has a nearly complete set of gastralia, or belly ribs, and an ulna, or lower arm bone. As of now, 101 bones, or about 34% of Bucky's skeleton, has been discovered and verified. [62]
