[1] [6] [9] The humeri, radius, and ulna are drawn after Diplodocus hallorum and the manus is drawn after Galeamopus pabsti. [10] [3] [8] The sternal plate was drawn after the mounted skeleton in Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The femur is based on CM 84, the tibia, fibula, astragalus, and pes on CM 94, and the calcaneum on an indeterminate ...
Diplodocus carnegii (also spelled incorrectly D. carnegiei), named after Andrew Carnegie, is the best known, mainly due to a near-complete skeleton known as Dippy (specimen CM 84) collected by Jacob Wortman, of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and described and named by John Bell Hatcher in 1901.
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.

Diplodocus, depicted with spines limited to the mid-line of the back. Diplodocids were generally large animals, even by sauropod standards. Thanks to their long necks and tails, diplodocids were among the longest sauropods, with some species such as Supersaurus vivianae and Diplodocus hallorum estimated to have reached lengths of 30 meters (100 ft) or more.

The forelimb needs a bit more musculature, as well as the thigh, but some aspects like the hand and foot look like the skeletal of Diplodocus by Franoys, and I'm not entirely sure how he came about to restore vertical phalanges in the hand of Diplodocus, in Apatosaurus they are very much 45º to horizontal.
Dinosaur fans who responded to the museum's request for input overwhelmingly chose to call the Natural History Museum's new 70-foot-long sauropod 'Gnatalie.'
