Educational Information
Carnegie Museum of Natural History is home to the most complete skeleton of a baby Apatosaurus ever found. This fossil was originally thought to be that of a different kind of dinosaur, known as Elosaurus. Later studies of this small skeleton determined that it instead belonged to a very young Apatosaurus. Based on recent estimates of how fast dinosaurs grew, this little plant-eater may have been less than one year old when it died.
