More model informationApatosaurus was a 70 foot long, 30 ton herbivore that roamed the Laramie area about 150 million years ago.
This is a cast of the forelimb of UW’s Apatosaurus . The mounted skeleton is on display in our Geology Museum.
The dinosaur was found east of Medicine Bow, WY in 1901 by Charles W. Gilmore, a UW graduate who was working for the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh, PA.
The skeleton was never put on exhibit at the Carnegie, though, so in 1959 S.H. Knight retreived the speicmen and mounted the skeleton in the UW Geological Museum.
