Description: Diplodocus ("Double Beam") was one of the sauropods found during the North American "Bone Rush" of the late 1800's.
At that time, Diplodocus was the longest known dinosaur, though more recently discovered dinosaurs such as Supersaurus are longer. Even with its great length, Diplodocus was relatively light-weight (compared to Barosaurus and Apatosaurus).

Diplodocus' long, sloping skull became the type for a group of dinosaurs with similar skulls (the Diplodocidae). Other important features of Diplodocus include a long tail with a whip-like ending (possibly an anti-predator defense), a long neck, and skid-like projections on the vertebra of the middle tail region.
