content: This specimen is a cast of a tibia bone (split into two pieces) from a Diplodocus, an herbivorous Sauropod dinosaur which was a long-necked dinosaur that is now extinct. Diplodocus measured 28m, the same length as its fellow Sauropod, Apatosaurus, but Diplodocus was only half the weight. One piece of the tibia is 33cm x 14cm and the other is 28cm x 12cm. Both are about 15cm thick.
