EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie presented the cast of Diplodocus carnegiei to the public in May 1905. The Diplodocus, a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur belonging to the Diplodocidae family, was one of the most complete and largest skeletons discovered at that time. Excavated in Wyoming, the original skeleton is now housed in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, USA. The image shows Carnegie standing proudly next to the impressive double-bone replica, which was created using beams to support the enormous skeleton. Carnegie's expression reflects his excitement and enthusiasm for the discovery, as he looks towards the crowd gathered around the dinosaur. The Diplodocus is an iconic dinosaur, belonging to the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes dinosaurs and their ancestors. This dinosaur is classified as a Diapsida, a subgroup of Archosauria characterized by having two openings in the skull for the temporal fenestrae. The Diplodocus is further classified as a Diplodocid, a subgroup of Diplodocidae, and a member of the Diplodocinae, a subfamily of Diplodocids. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the 20th century's fascination with dinosaurs and the role that industrialists like Carnegie played in bringing these prehistoric creatures to life for the public. The image is an essential addition to any collection of historical and scientific archives, providing a unique perspective on the exploration and discovery of the natural world.
