CM 84 is the holotype skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii, a long-necked diplodocid sauropod excavated in Wyoming in 1899 and housed at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. The species was named in honor of industrialist Andrew Carnegie, whose support enabled full-size plaster casts of...
Patagotitan mayorum is a giant titanosaurian sauropod known from fossils discovered in Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. The species was formally described in 2017 from remains representing several individuals, with MPEF-PV 3400 designated as the holotype. It lived during the Late Cretaceous an...
Dreadnoughtus schrani is a giant titanosaurian sauropod known from Late Cretaceous rocks in Patagonia, Argentina, and formally described in 2014. The holotype, MPM-PV 1156, preserves a large proportion of the skeleton, including vertebrae, limb bones, and elements of the shoulder and pelvic girdles,...
Argentinosaurus huinculensis is a giant titanosaurian sauropod known from Late Cretaceous rocks of Neuquén Province, Argentina. Described in 1993, it is represented by fragmentary remains that include enormous vertebrae and limb bones, so reconstructions of its total length and mass involve substant...
FMNH P25107 is the holotype specimen of Brachiosaurus altithorax, a large sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of Colorado. Elmer Riggs and his field team collected the partial skeleton in 1900, and Riggs named the species in 1903. The specimen, held by Chicago's Field Museum,...
Supersaurus vivianae is a diplodocid sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of western North America.

Camarasaurus supremus is a species of Camarasaurus, a large herbivorous sauropod from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of western North America. Edward Drinker Cope named it in 1877 from fossils discovered in Colorado, and it was the type species of the genus. Camarasaurus had a relatively short...
Cetiosaurus oxoniensis is a large herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from Middle Jurassic rocks in England, particularly the Oxford Clay and related deposits of Oxfordshire. Richard Owen named the genus Cetiosaurus in 1841, making it one of the earliest sauropod genera recognized by science, although the...
Vulcanodon karibaensis is an early sauropod dinosaur known from Early Jurassic rocks near Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. Its fossils include much of the pelvis, hind limbs, forelimbs, and tail, but no confirmed skull, so its diet and appearance are reconstructed partly from related sauropods. The strong,...
