	Seismosaurus - Enchanted Learning Software
		Seismosaurus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.
		Seismosaurus moved slowly on four short, column-like legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).
		Seismosaurus was a huge herbivorous dinosaur, a saurischian ("lizard hipped" dinosaurs), a sauropodomorph (A long-necked, long-tailed plant-eater that walked on four legs), a sauropod (a very large herbivore), and a member of the Family Diplodocidae (a peg-toothed sauropod: others included Apatosaurus, Amargasaurus, Diplodocus, and Supersaurus).

	Seismosaurus - Definition, explanation
		Seismosaurus, meaning "Earth-shaking lizard," is one of the giant sauropods of the late Jurassic period.
		From snout to tail, Seismosaurus was approximagely 33 meters, or 110 feet long.
		Seismosaurus is an herbivorous dinosaur related to the Diplodocus.

	REAPPRAISAL OF SEISMOSAURUS, A LATE JURASSIC SAUROPOD DINOSAUR FROM NEW MEXICO
		Axial length estimates of Seismosaurus of as much as 52 m have been used to identify it as the longest dinosaur.
		The supposed 240 gastroliths of Seismosaurus have been revealed to be highly polished quartzite pebbles that lack an unambiguous skeletal association; they are stream-deposited cobbles of a channel-lag deposit.
		Therefore, we consider Seismosaurus to be a junior subjective synonym of Diplodocus, though a case can be made for recognizing the New Mexican fossil as a valid species of Diplodocus, D.

	Seismosaur cut down to size
		The key to resizing Seismosaurus, he says, was knowing where to place tail vertebrae of the incomplete, lone known specimen.
		The new, revised Seismosaurus length is already incorporated into the Age of Giants exhibit which opened in August at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.
		All that is known about Seismosaurus comes from fossilized bones from the hip and part of the back of a single skeleton found in ancient riverbank deposits near San Ysidro, New Mexico in 1979.

		Seismosaurus, the product of that inauspicious hike near San Ysidro in 1979, was unveiled at the Albuquerque Museum of Natural History and Science last week.
		And what a display it is, in light of the way the 110-foot long Seismosaurus was depicted within a 70-foot long room.
		Lucas estimated that the living Seismosaurus weighed about 30 tons; the reconstructed cast of the giant weighs about a half ton, he said, and there was no way the second floor hall could support a recreation made of the fossilized remains.

	Diplodocid Sauropods
		Seismosaurus was named for a very Diplodocus-like specimen from New Mexico.
		Although initial reports suggested that the skeleton could be up to 150 feet long (48 meters), a rigorous reconstruction based on the known skeletal elements suggests that it was unlikely that the skeleton exceeded 98 feet (31 meters).
		We have gone one step further, suggesting that the "Seismosaurus" specimen is specifically a specimen of the lesser known species of Diplodocus, Diplodocus longus.

		Seismosaurus halli, or Sam as nicknamed by the author, is a new genus and species of late Jurassic sauropod.
		It is known from the skeletal remains of a single specimen which included a few neck vertebrae, the back vertebrae with most of the ribs, the hips, and a good portion of the tail.
		A later chapter describes the evolutionary relation of Seismosaurus to other sauropods and yet another chapter speculates on which was the longest and heaviest.

		Piles of stones were found associated with the Seismosaurus fossil and these were interpreted as gastrolithes used help digest food.
		It was even suggested that one particularly large stone was the cause of the animals death, having caused it to choke.

		Seismosaurus proteins: bone of contention - fossil dinosaur bones claimed to have yielded 150 million year old proteins
		W. Dale Spall and his colleages at Los Alamos (N.M.) National Laboratory chemically extracted the proteins from the vertebra of an enormous sauropod dinosaur -- with an estimated length of 160 feet -- excavated in central New Mexico.
		The record-breaking animal unoffcially dubbed seismosaurus, or "earth shaker," lived in the late Jurassic period, making these by far the oldest known proteins, says Spall, who described his team's work at a Geological Society of America meeting in Albuquerque.

		The careful, laborious unraveling of a paleontological puzzle that would eventually lead to the discovery of Seismosaurus, the longest dinosaur, serves as the focus of this intriguing if not altogether fulfilling book.
		Photos of the site and of various equipment developed to locate bones buried deep in the sandstone clarify the complicated mechanics involved in scientific research, but much of the information may be beyond the intended audience.
		While the twists and turns of the excavation hint at an exciting conclusion, the book ends abruptly with Seismosaurus still not wholly uncovered and the anticlimactic suggestion that someday "excavators may find the rest of the skeleton." Ages 6-10.

	Hairy Museum of Natural History » The Sinking of Seismosaurus
		As new teams of researchers began to compare Seismosaurus to Diplodocus, they began to suspect that some of the bones that Gillette had placed towards the middle of the tail had, in fact, been located much closer to the hips.
		Most of the characters that remained had to do with relative proportions of the vertebrae, and several researchers suggested that these were well within the range of variation one might expect in a dinosaur genus like Diplodocus.
		It is kept as a separate, over-sized species—Diplodocus hallorum—based on its relative proportions and the paddle-like shape of some of the chevron bones in its tail.
