(di-PLOD-o-kus)

Length: 90 feet
Lived during: Late Jurassic
Found: Western North America

At 90 feet, this is the longest dinosaur ever found,  probably one of the longest that ever lived.  Both the neck and tail were extremely lengthy, and the tail ws so strong that it may have been used as a weapon.  Like Brachiosaurus, its nostrils were on top of the head.  The Diplodocus skeleton at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum may be the most famous fossil in the world.
Lived at the same time as: Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camptosaurus, Ornitholestes, Stegosaurus
