[116] [117] A mounted and more complete skeleton of D. longus is at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, [118] while a mounted skeleton of D. hallorum (formerly Seismosaurus), which may be the same as D. longus, can be found at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.

Originally named Seismosaurus halli, [228] but the species name was changed to "hallorum" to be more grammatically correct; [16] was once considered a junior synonym of Supersaurus, [229] but was later referred to the genus Diplodocus [230] Diplodocus lacustris: YPM 1922 [16] Peabody Museum of Natural History: Kimmeridgian
Seismosaurus (=Diplodocus) This implies that the feeding mechanism of Diplodocus and other diplodocids was radically different from that of other sauropods. Unilateral branch stripping is the most likely feeding behavior of Diplodocus, [19] [20] [21] as it explains the unusual wear patterns of the teeth (coming from tooth–food contact). In ...

The fauna of Morrison Formation is similar to one in the coeval rocks of Tendaguru Beds (in Tanzania) and Lourinhã Formation in Portugal, [1] mostly with the second. Some genera are shared in Morrison and Lourinhã, such as Torvosaurus, [2] Ceratosaurus, [3] Stegosaurus, Dryosaurus, [4] and Allosaurus. [5]
[27] [8] Some of the longest sauropods were those with exceptionally long, whip-like tails, such as the 29–30 m (95–98 ft) Diplodocus hallorum [8] [27] (formerly Seismosaurus) and the 39 m Supersaurus. [28] In 2014, the fossilized remains of a previously unknown species of sauropod were discovered in Argentina. [29]
