Help SV-POW!: what happened to the original Carnegie Diplodocus molds?

Key Points

The study traces the history of the molds used for creating diplodocus skeleton replicas, revealing their significance.
Among the specimens examined are CM 84, CM 94, and CM 307, which were pivotal in the casting process.
This historical analysis underscores the impact of the carnegie museum on paleontological methods and replication.
Exploring this history also highlights how museums shape public understanding of dinosaur fossils.
