Summary

Description
English: A display of young Diplodocus feet and forelimbs encased in rock on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.

Diplodocus lived from about 154 and 152 million years ago. They ranged in length from 82 to 105 feet, and weighed from 11 to 20 tons.

These fossils were discovered in the Morrison Formation of the Upper Jurassic on Mother's Day in 1994 in Carbon County, Montana. The site is highly unusual: About 145 million to 150 million years ago, a herd of Diplodocus (adults and juveniles) were moving across a vast, dry savannah -- going from watering hole to watering hole. These juveniles and young adults became trapped there, and died. The full-growth adults moved on, and shortly thereafter the bodies of the dead were covered by a mudslide.

The site was worked from 1994 to 1996 by the Museum of the Rockies, and from 1997 to 2012 by the Cincinnati Museum Center. Several complete skeletons have been assembled from the site.
