is a 11.8" long, caudal (tail) vertebrae of the sauropod dinosaur Diplodocus. It was collected this past spring from our partners quarry in Big Horn County, Wyoming. It comes with a custom metal display stand.

Restoration is pretty minimal compared to most dinosaur material, with only some surface restoration on the edges of both ends of the centrum that had some erosion and the ends of the small articular processes.

One of the best-known sauropods, Diplodocus was a very large long-necked quadrupedal animal, with a long, whip-like tail. It could reach up to 115 feet in length but had a relatively small skull, and a mouth full of small peg-like teeth it
