Fossils of the long-necked dinosaur Diplodocus have been recently discovered in Spain, marking the first time remains of this iconic Jurassic-period dino have been found outside the U.S.
About Diplodocus:
Diplodocus belongs to a group of enormous dinosaurs called sauropods.
The sauropods were large, plant-eating dinosaurs with long necks, massive bodies, and four pillar-like legs to support the body.
It is the longest complete dinosaur that scientists have discovered.
Diplodocus translates as ‘double beam’. It refers to the dinosaur’s tail bones.
Diplodocus lived during the Late Jurassic, 155-145 million years ago.
Remains of this dinosaur have been found in North America, especially in Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.
