Description
As part of National Dinosaur Day, here's another photo taken at the Carnegie Museum in 2010. In this one (taken from the third floor), we see the skeletal mounts of Apatosaurus (adult and juvenile), Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Diplodocus along with a Diplodocus femur, the partial skull of Marshosaurus in a display case, a Titanosaur egg and a juvenile Diplodocus skull in a display case, replicas of Late Jurassic flora, and paleoart courtesy of Bob Walters and Tess Kissinger. This particular Diplodocus has some historical significance in that it was the second sauropod skeleton to ever be mounted (the first being the Apatosaurus in New York) and is one of the most replicated dinosaur mounts in general (thanks to steel tycoon and the museum's founder, Andrew Carnegie) with casts being displayed in museums on four continents. The Apatosaurus is also historically significant in that it was the first to be given the correct head thanks to the work of paleontologists John McIntosh and Dave Berman in 1979.
