Diplodocus
Reach, trample
Diplodocus longus, the type species, is known from several
specimens. detailed analysis has suggested that the original fossil
lacks the necessary features to allow comparison with other
specimens. For this reason, it has been considered a nomen dubium.
A petition to the International Commission on Zoological
Nomenclature was being considered which proposed to make D.
carnegii the new type species.
