Talk:Diplodocidae

Let's name names. :-)

"A diplodocid was recently found with a row of keratinous (horny, not bony) spines running down its back." -- Which diplodocid (or find), please? -- Writtenonsand 12:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Diplodocus sp. Can't seem to find the ref though. And I'd remove 'recently', it was found in 1992. Dinoguy2 21:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

...actually I wonderd about this at the time as there wasn't a whole lot written on the subject. I agree it is worth following up as it is an interesting facet of what they may look like...cheers, Casliber | talk | contribs 22:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Remove the "Baby Toni" picture

A recent study showed that Toni was actually a Brachiosaurus. (Carballido, J.L.; Marpmann, J.S.; Schwarz-Wings, D.; and Pabst, B. (2012). "New information on a juvenile sauropod specimen from the Morrison Formation and the reassessment of its systematic position".

Brachiosaurus or brachiosaur? FunkMonk (talk) 11:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

A WP:OR?

• This article contains the unreferenced text "(though in life the nostrils themselves would have been close to the tip of the snout)". Who decided that? It seems likelier to me that in such a huge animal having to breathe through such a small head, the nostrils would have to be so big that they could only fit in on top of the head.

It's based on this study:[1] It has gone unchallenged since. FunkMonk (talk) 07:44, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
