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.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
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).

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.

Two huge Apatosaurus males battle each other at the height of the breeding season over territory and mates as a pair of Harpactognathus fly across the sunset.

Cabazon dinosaur Dinny the Apatosaurus was built by Claude Bell beginning in 1964. It took him eleven years and over $250,000 to finish Dinny. Dinny is one hundred and fifty feet long and forty five feet high. Bell built her with an entrance in the tail, stairs leading up, and rooms inside, including a large gift shop on the main level. She also has a small bathroom, a room with a sink, and another room about a third the size of the gift shop. A tunnel up to the head also exists to allow for changing of the lights in the dinosaur's eyes. The original and subsequent paint jobs while Bell was alive were browns and grays, but starting in 2020 the current owners began painting the dinosaurs for the season. The photographs of pink Dinny above were shot in 2021.
