8.8" Diplodocus Caudal Vertebra - Bone Cabin Quarry, Wyoming
This is a well preserved, 8.8" long Diplodocus caudal vertebra from the famous Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming. While the process is missing the bone is solid, with minimal erosion. The only restoration is some crack fill along the crack repairs.

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.
The Bone Cabin Quarry has historical significance because it was discovered in 1897 and excavated by the American Museum of Natural History from 1898 through 1905. It lies near the famous Como Bluff and got its name from a nearby sheepherder's cabin built entirely out of fossil dinosaur bones. This quarry now lies on private land, where it continues to be excavated.
