		DIPLODOCUS, a gigantic extinct land reptile discovered in rocks of Upper Jurassic age in western North America, the bestknown example of a Sauropodous Dinosaur.
		Shortly afterwards plaster casts of the finest specimens were prepared under the direction of Mr J. Hatcher and Dr W. Holland, and these were skilfully combined to form the cast of a completely reconstructed skeleton, which was presented to the British Museum by Andrew Carnegie in 1905.
		The cast of the reconstructed skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii measures 84 ft. in length and 12 ft. 9 in.

		Diplodocus was a long-necked, whip-tailed giant, measuring about 90 feet (27 m) long with a 26 foot (8 m) long neck and a 45 foot (14 m) long tail, but its head was less than 2 feet long.
		Diplodocus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.
		Diplodocus moved slowly on four column-like legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).

		Diplodocus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that was first discovered in 1878.
		Diplodocus is one of the more common Jurassic dinosaurs found in what is now western North America, and particularly in the Morrison Formation of the western United States and Canada, which dates to some 150 to 147 million years ago.
		Diplodocus was for many years the longest known dinosaur, and its size alone may have deterred predation from such fierce predators as Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus, whose remains are found in the same region.

	Diplodocus butts into Oakland's skyline
		A Diplodocus standing in the middle of Oakland and waiting to be unveiled in front of dozens of giddy voyeurs can only blush and accept that her rear end can't adequately be covered by a big white sheet intended to hide her before her coming-out party.
		But once the sheet was pulled off "Dippy" the Diplodocus yesterday morning, she stood proudly outside the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, showing off her gleaming skin (shiny from anti-graffiti spray), softly-folded wrinkles (tailored to precise scientific specifications) and thunder thighs (perfect for stomping out lesser beings).
		Everyone around her -- museum staff, city politicians, children of all ages -- clapped and cheered, not only because her bod was so mod, but because the museum no longer had to be secretive about what was lurking on Forbes Avenue beneath all the scaffolding, sheets and screens.

	Dr. Hay and his Diplo-Commotion.
		He accepts Hatcher's opinion that Diplodocus and Brontosaurus were digitigrade and argues that therefore they walked as represented in Hatcher's restoration of the reptile.
		The evidences that they were digitigrade are found in the belief, probably correct, that the upper ends of the metatarsals and metacarpals were not arranged in a straight line, but in an arc of a circle; further, that the feet were entaxonic, that is, had the inner digits more strongly developed than the outer ones.
		The writer is not disposed to deny that Diplodocus and its relatives were more or less digitigrade; but this digitigrady, through perhaps equal to that of the hinder foot of the elephant, does not prove that these reptiles walked like the elephant.
