This weeks #fossilfriday #LegoFossil is #Diplodocus

First discovered in 1877, Diplodocus lived between 154-152 million years ago.

Its estimated to be up to 26 meters long making it one of the largest dinosaurs of its time

Due to wear patterns on its teeth its believed to feed using the strategy of unilateral branch stripping. This means that one row of teeth would strip the foliage while the second row would guide the food into its mouth.
