MTMike Taylor

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.
