EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured in a sketch, industrial magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie presents a magnificent plaster cast of Diplodocus carnegiei to the Natural History Museum in London, in May 1905. The Diplodocus, a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur, was one of the first dinosaur skeletons to be mounted in a lifelike pose, thanks to Carnegie's financial support. Carnegie's interest in natural history was piqued during a visit to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, where he saw a cast of a Diplodocus skeleton. Impressed by the prehistoric creature, he funded an expedition to Wyoming, USA, to excavate the fossilized remains of this dinosaur. The fossils were then sent to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, where they were studied and prepared for mounting. The Diplodocus carnegiei is a member of the Diplodocidae family, which is part of the larger Diplodocoidea group. This dinosaur is classified as a diplodocid, a type of long-necked, whip-tailed dinosaur. The Diplodocus is also considered a neosauropod, a group of sauropod dinosaurs that lived during the Late Jurassic period. The Diplodocus was one of the first dinosaurs to be studied in detail, and its anatomy provided important insights into the structure and function of these extinct animals. Carnegie's gift of the Diplodocus cast to the Natural History Museum in London marked a significant milestone in the study and public display of dinosaurs. This presentation not only showcased the wonders of the natural world but also highlighted the importance of philanthropy and scientific collaboration in advancing knowledge and understanding.
