Holotype specimens of Diplodocus carnegii and Apatosaurus louisae at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Diplodocidae was the third name given to what is now recognized as the single family of long-necked, whip-tailed sauropods. Edward Drinker Cope named the family Amphicoeliidae in 1878 for his genus Amphicoelias, sometimes considered a ...
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.
Diplodocoidea is a superfamily of sauropod dinosaurs, which included some of the longest animals of all time, including slender giants like Supersaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, and Amphicoelias. Most had very long necks and long, whip-like tails; however, one family (the dicraeosaurids ) are the only known sauropods to have re-evolved a short ...
Supersaurus (meaning "super lizard") is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period. The type species, S. vivianae, was first discovered by Vivian Jones of Delta, Colorado, in the middle Morrison Formation of Colorado in 1972.
In addition to Ardetosaurus, other diplodocines of the Morrison Formation include Diplodocus, Barosaurus, Supersaurus and Galeamopus. Apatosaurines include Apatosaurus—one of the most abundant Morrison sauropods—and Brontosaurus. Dicraeosaurids are less common, comprising isolated specimens of Smitanosaurus, Dyslocosaurus, and Suuwassea.
