Illustration d'un Brontosaure dans l'eau et d'un Diplodocus sur terre. L'idée que le Brontosaure était entièrement ou principalement aquatique est aujourd'hui considérée comme dépassée. L'image d'une queue traînant au sol et d'un crâne semblable à celui du Camarasaurus est également inexacte.

a Skeletal reconstruction of A. greppini. Elements preserved in the material and therefore providing information for the skeletal reconstruction are marked in blue. Because much information is missing from the incomplete skeletal material, the dorsal vertebrae, the proportions and morphology of the cervical vertebrae and the skull were modified from Camarasaurus. b Scaled silhouette drawings of Cetiosauriscus stewarti (in black) and A. greppini (in grey) demonstrating the significant size difference between the two taxa. Scale bar is 1 m

Camarasaurus lentus (Marsh, 1889) sauropod dinosaur from the Jurassic of Utah, USA (public display, CM 11338, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA).
This is a near-complete juvenile sauropod dinosaur in the original fluvial sandstone matrix - such skeletons are extremely rare.
Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha, Camarasauridae
Stratigraphy: Brushy Basin Member, Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic, 151 Ma
Locality: Carnegie Quarry, Dinosaur National Monument, northeastern Utah, USA


Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest terrestrial animals ever.  They all have the same basic body plan: large body with four walking legs, very long neck & tail, and a small head relative to body size.  Sauropods were herbivores, and are often perceived as holding their heads & necks up high to reach vegetation normally out of reach to other organisms.  Modern reconstructions of many sauropod species depict them with heads and necks held close to the horizontal, or at low angles above the horizontal.
