Hello everyone, I know that sauropod are difficult to classify as species. May I know if this vertebrae can be recognized as Diplodocus? The seller's label is Diplodocus Caudal Vertebra. It comes from the Morrison fm. The centrum measures 8 inches x 4 inches. Thank you.

Bones from Bone Cabin Quarry Can anyone please help me identify them? Many thanks in advance.
Gordon Johnston posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi. Thanks in advance for help from anyone. I recently bought these bones from someone with access to Bone Cabin Quarry, I am 100% confident these came from there. I can tell that some look like limb bones, #3 looks to me like part of a sauropod vertebra (but I could be wrong). I am fairly new at this. The person said the other Jurassic dinosaurs from the general area included Sauropods: Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, Apatosaurus, also Allosaurus and Stegosaurus. There are 15 bones in the photos, numbered 1-15. If anyone can tell me with any reasonable confidence about any of these, and how they know (I want to learn), it would be a valuable learning experience for me. I forgot to put in a ruler, but the box is 16" by 12". I do appreciate it! Gordon- 3 replies

Some of my herbivorous dinosaur teeth. I need to fix a couple of the labels, as I've recently learned that "Tegana Formation" isn't actually a thing.-

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

After reading the recent thread on Morrison Formation fossils, especially the reference to Suuwassea on the tables provided, I thought I’d post an image of this particular fossil from my collection. It’s an example of the carbonized dinosaur skin found in the Morrison and sometimes attributed to Suuwassea although Diplodocus sp. is probably more accurate. I think I have a few more specimens somewhere.

Hello, a few months back I purchased this tooth from Carbon county Wyoming. The seller told me it was a Diplodocus sp. tooth, even though the tip is missing. Is this tooth really a Diplodocus sp. or is it Diplodcidae indet. thanks!!! Almost forgot to mention the tooth is 1.06 inch long.

Quick guide to help identify a few Sauropod teeth from the Morrison Formation. Corrections and additional info always appreciated Please Note: Variations in the morphology of these teeth can vary significantly do to, species, jaw position and ontogenetic changes. This is just a high level guide. Camarasaurus: - Crown is wider than the root - Anterior Teeth are spoon-like and symmetrical, mid and posterior teeth are asymmetrical - The crown enamel ends sharply where the root begins - Wear facet, if present, can be on both sides of the tip From my collection 14.5 cm long and 7 cm long Jaw mechanics showing wear facets Brachiosaurus - Crown are only slightly wider or equal to their root - Teeth are intermediate between spoon-like and peg-like depending on jaw position - The crowns typically have an axial twist relative to the root - Crowns are Conical and Chisel-Shaped - Wear facet, if present, is sharp and at the tip but almost always pointed - The crown enamel blends into the root area. Not has sharp of a cutoff as Camarasaurus From my collection 9.5 cm long From the collection of @hxmendoza from a previous post Jaw mechanics showing wear faceting Diplodocus - Peg-like teeth long and narrow - Slightly curved teeth - Crown enamel blends slightly into the root Jaw Mechanics of Diplodocus showing wear faceting From Supplier, Paleo Gallery Apatosaurus Dont have much published on teeth but from examining ones in my collection they appear to be faceted, grooved toward the base some more than others with sharper edges. More compressed than Diplo. Provided by hxmendoza on a previous post, he made similar comments From Paleo Gallery you can see the faceting References 1) Tooth Replacement of Euhelopus zdanskyi (Dinosauria: Sauropoda) and the Evolution of Titanosaurian Tooth Morphology, Sept 2014 Salakka, Seela 2) Jaw mechanics in sauropod dinosaurs, Jan 1994 Jorge Calvo 3)The dentition of a well-preserved specimen of Camarasaurus sp .: implications for function, tooth replacement, soft part reconstruction, and food intake.

Hey folks, thought I would share what I have been working on all week in my WorkFromHome Office/Lab. (Well, when I am not doing computer stuff). While the Tate (my employer) is closed we have been sent home to work. I brought a few fossils home to work on. The past two weeks I prepped a bunch of Lance Fm micros. I might show them off, but they are so tough to photograph well. This is this week's (and next) project... a Diplodocus skull from the Morrison Formation at the famous Como Bluff in southern Wyoming. We found this tucked into a group of tail bones. It might be from the same animal, it might not. There are a lot of other things in this quarry... typical for the Morrison. But we are calling it Dip because the tail bones are diplos. We will see when I get it all prepped and I go out and learn the difference. The left maxilla is on the right side. The other maxilla is underneath it. "How do you know?", you ask. We already cleaned up the other side. This is the bottom of the jacket. There are loose teeth all over the place in this jacket. Other bones are emerging on the left side of the jacket, and are not yet Ided. This stuff is very delicate and some bones are less than 1mm thick. Yikes. For those taking notes, I am using a variety of pinvices with pokey ends, and a MicroJack #3. All done under the microscope. And lots of Vinac, and a wee bit of superglue. Eventually everything will get sandblasted at about 5 psi with bicarb and holes will be filled with epoxy putty. I will post more next Friday.... Y'all stay safe and have a good weekend. (Edit... I was just thumbing through the post about fossils through the macro lens and took Tim's advice: I downloaded Photoscape and put a copyright into the photo. It was really easy. )

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum of Singapore
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Singapore is a small country and we lack a dedicated fossil museum here. Thankfully, we do have the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum which hosts several impressive dinosaur skeletons and has a small section for fossils. The museum can be found at the Kent Ridge Campus of the National University of Singapore in case anyone is thinking of visiting it when my country finally reopens. Interestingly, this museum is built around 3 Diplodocidae dinosaurs, so you'll see plenty of their pictures as I showcase the place Exterior of the museum The entry is at the right The very first fossils you will spot upon entering This is the middle of the musuem. All the exhibits are built around these 3 skeletons- 16 replies

We hit the road today and took our dinosaur fossils to Yuba City. We did two dinosaur programs for the second grade classes at Franklin Elementary. The kids had fantastic knowledge, asked tons of questions and were well behaved. Carter and I had a really great time and I think the kiddos did too. Thankful for the opportunity to reach new kids !! It was also our first chance to use the large Diplodocus bone and our Anzu claw. Here are some of the students checking out a big Diplodocus fossil while getting their fossils to take home

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

To recap from my last post, I work for a large traveling animatronic dinosaur show. I handle our display of real fossils. Recently, the company's management purchased a number of real fossils that came to me without proper identification. However, most of the fossils we had previously also lacked proper identification in regards to where they were found, and I'm beginning to question all of our labels. Everyone involved in their original acquisition either can't recall where many of our pieces came from, or are now deceased. I'm hoping to try to verify or re-identify every major fossil in our collection one piece at a time This is a piece that was already in the collection when I joined. Its described as a Diplodocus toe bone, from one of the rear feet. There might not be enough here to confirm or rule out that description, but I appreciate any insight that anyone can give me. I have a vague recollection of being told it came from Colorado, but I'm not sure if I was actually told that, or if I just presumed that it came from the Morrison formation.

Building the Dinosaur Program- the Morrison Formation... YAY !!
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in Member Collections
It is with a good bit of giddy enthusiasm that we share our very first Jurassic dinosaur fossils. We have a start to our Morrison Formation collection and I am so excited to take these into class. This is also a proud moment because my son and I earned these fossils with our hard work. This is a gift to our program from us and a gift to the kids we want to educate. They are also big hunks of dino bone. We needed a couple of larger bones for these programs for visual flair and these fit the bill for our budget. It will be a week before they arrive but I am too excited to wait lol One of the things we learned from our first dinosaur program was that 2nd graders learn about Diplodocus when they study dinosaurs. It was a species they knew. So we purchased a partial Diplo coracoid bone. It is a 15" x 11" x 9" hunk of dinosaur bone that weighs 12 lbs. Our largest and heaviest fossil. This one will really get the attention of the kids I think and gives us a the opportunity to feature Diplo in the program We also added two partial Camarasaurus ribs that fused together during fossilization. It is 14" x 9" so it is good sized and is a great example of the geological process they are learning about. This gives us an additional Sauropod to cover in the program and lest us talk more about niches. This will be a great fossil for the kids to touch as well. We are also adding a few pounds of chunkasaurus bones. Perfect dino fossils for hands on exploration and a few special give away dino bones too. The pictures are not great, not sure why but I will upload more when they arrive. Here are the big ones.... Picture 1- Diplo coracoid Picture 2 Cam ribs- 5 replies

Our first school wide assembly program :)
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Fossils on Wheels can officially say we are an elementary assembly program We will be doing two presentations for all of the students at Nord Country Day School. it is a small charter in the middle of farm country here. I personally love the single class presentations because they allow you to interact with the students in a more in-depth manner. The assembly style programs are our best way to travel to schools outside of city though. We can educate an entire school versus 30-35 students at a time. This is pilot program but it is very important to our future to develop a large scale traveling fossil program. Things are moving very quickly for us and we are starting to reach large numbers of students. A big leap forward for us and a chance to bring real fossils to an entire school. This will also be the debut for our Diplodocus fossil which is our largest piece. I am really excited to bring Dippy to a presentation.- 2 replies
