Heads up… it’s Fossil Friday! 🦕 The Museum's Apatosaurus, collected at the turn of the 20th century, was the first sauropod ever mounted. But did you know that for years, this mighty dinosaur was displayed with the wrong skull? Using incomplete remains, scientists speculated that Apatosaurus was closely related to another sauropod: Camarasaurus. As a result, a similar skull to Camarasaurus was sculpted and placed atop Apatosaurus’ body (pictured), where it remained for decades. As new research emerged, this reconstruction was updated. To this day, only one Apatosaurus has ever been found with its skull attached!

See Apatosaurus up close in the Museum's Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs! Plan your visit.

Earlier today while a friend and I were playing as apatosaurus, a baby thal was showing off a manta it had to us when a raptor yoinked it and ran off. The baby thal stared to cry out and throw a tantrum until its mama flew in and hugged it, it was the cutest interaction I’ve seen in a long time in PoT😭

Tess Gallagher's speculation and scientific work on diplodocid scales has destroyed by brain :P. Apatosaurus is known for it's wide neck, so I played a little.

Here's an Apatosaurus with the WORLD'S BIGGEST BEARD and his own little ecosystem of followers (should have been posted a little earlier, in 2013).

Dinovember 2024 Day 8: Marsh’s Longnecks

An Apatosaurus and a Barosaurus join a two Brontosaurus and a Diplodocus in drinking at a water hole in what is now the famous Morrison Formation. All four genera were described by O.C. Marsh, the chief rival of E.D. Cope during the Bone Wars of the 1870s-1890s.

Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus— once again two separate species! 💜🩷

When they were first discovered, Bronto and Apato were called their own species, but early paleontologists began to question if they were actually part of the same species. The biggest thing was the lack of a skull for Brontosaurus— at least an attached one. A skeleton with an adjacent unconnected head different from Apatosaurus wasn’t enough evidence to pull Brontosaurus out of the synonym column. When we finally found one with their neck attached, that was the last support Brontosaurus needed!

This Fossil Friday, we bring you the beloved Apatosaurus: a long-necked dinosaur that could reach an impressive size of 73 feet (22 meters) long! The Museum’s first Apatosaurus was discovered at Wyoming’s Bone Cabin Quarry in 1898. When it went on display in 1905, it was the first sauropod dinosaur ever mounted. It’s hard to believe, but this gigantic herbivore maintained its mind-boggling bulk on a diet of plants. A soup of microbes in its belly broke down otherwise hard-to-digest plants by fermentation. In fact, some birds, the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, also have fermentation chambers in their guts.
