Diplodocus Dinosaur - Facts, Anatomy, and Prehistoric Life #1436797 (License: Personal Use)

The Diplodocus, a sauropod from the Late Jurassic period (~154-152 million years ago), could reach lengths up to 25 meters and weighed around 12-15 tons. Its slender skull, peg-like teeth, and extremely long tail-possibly used for defense or communication-distinguish it from other sauropods. Fossils are primarily found in the Morrison Formation of western North America.

Used on educational science websites, museum digital exhibits, paleontology blogs, and school resources to illustrate sauropod anatomy and prehistoric ecosystems; matches user intent for learning about dinosaur species, evolution, or classroom visuals.
