Diplodocid sauropod skeletons

Summary edit

Description
English: Three diplodocid sauropod dinosaur skeletons named "Apollonia", "Prince" and "Twinky" at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore, 2 Conservatory Drive, Singapore.

 1. "Apollonia DS":
United States of America, Wyoming, Dana Quarry Jurassic, around 156 to 148 million years ago
Discovered in 2007, "Apollonia" is about 24 metres long and has a well-preserved skull, complete with orbital elements and a lower jaw, found directly associated with its nearly complete skeleton. This degree of preservation is extremely rare as the relatively small and delicate skulls of such large dinosaurs are seldom preserved. In comparison to "Prince", "Apollonia" has narrower cervicals and slender limb bones. One possibility is that these differences are due to sexual dimorphism and "Apollonia" is a female.

2. "Prince SG":
United States of America, Wyoming, Dana Quarry Jurassic, around 156 to 148 million years ago
Discovered in 2008, "Prince" is approximately 27 metres long and its skull was found attached to a long series of cervical bones, which is a very rare find for this type of dinosaur. It is one of the most complete sauropod skeletons ever found, with all the major bone elements preserved. "Prince" has a thicker build, with broader neck vertebrae and stouter limbs when compared to "Apollonia". If it is the same species as "Apollonia", then it is possibly a male.

3. "Twinky Delano MS LEE":
United States of America, Wyoming, Dana Quarry Jurassic, around 156 to 148 million years ago

Discovered in 2009, "Twinky" is about half the size of the other two sauropods, measuring 12 metres long. There are no comparable specimens housed in the other collections that are of its size and entirety. It is the first diplodocid dinosaur found with a complete, undisturbed series of vertebrae preserved in a continuous row with even spacing, from the atlas (first neck vertebra) to the beginning of the whiplash tail. It seems to be a juvenile or sub-adult. Scientists are now studying its internal bone structure which allows them to study the growth rates of this type of dinosaur.
