Hi all Spent a nice afternoon with MrsR and Dippy the Diplodocus. For more than a century the much-loved 23-metre long dinosaur skeleton has held centre stage at the Natural History Museum London,then went on a nationwide tour . The genus Diplodocus was first described in 1878 by Othniel Charles Marsh. The fossilised skeleton from which Dippy was cast was discovered in Wyoming in 1898, and acquired by the Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie and sold to the National History Museum for £2000 . It was cast in 1902 and mounted in 1907. Now the legendary Diplodocus is at Coventry at the Herbert on a three-year loan. Also it opposite the stunning the ruins and modern Coventry Cathedral. I think if it ok with all I will show a few photos this too. Cheers Bobby

Hey guys, I saw this diplodocus bone online and I was wondering what bone it could be from. It’s listed as a caudal vertebrae but it’s clearly not. It’s around 38 cm with the restored section which I have marked with a red lign. Thanks for the imput!

Hi all Dippy the diplodocus is now at Cardiff Museum. I think 11 casts were made by Andrew Carnegie and one went to the NHM London in 1905. It’s now on a tour of the U.K. Nick
