They didn’t have much documentation to work from, and just had to piece the bones together as they went,” he said. “It’s amazing what they accomplished.” This article is about the dinosaur fossil in Pittsburgh. For its replica in London, see Dippy (London). For the statue in Pittsburgh, see Dippy (statue).

May marvels at how the Peabody’s preparators managed to assemble the original Brontosaurus mount in 1931 out of the bones Marsh had collected — beginning in 1879 — at Como Bluff, Wyoming.

The casting and distribution of the skeleton made the word dinosaur a household word; [4] for millions of people it became the first dinosaur they had ever seen. [5] It was also responsible for the subsequent popularity of the entire genus Diplodocus, since the skeleton has been on display in more places than any other sauropod dinosaur. [6] Once Brontosaurus is fully assembled, it will be taken apart again. The steelwork will be polished and painted. The bones will receive a follow up cleaning and then will return to the Peabody where the RCI team will reassemble them, just as they have been assembled in Ontario, on the museum floor.

Four members of RCI’s team of fossil preparators toil quietly at workbenches cleaning and mending the bones of the Peabody’s American mastodon. One preparator works on a 5-foot-long section of the mastodon’s spine. Two others focus on its ribs. Another cleans the elephant-like skeleton’s hips. Another treats the bones of a sauropod belonging to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Founded in 1987, RCI has built hundreds of fossil skeletons and other museum exhibits for institutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. It refurbished the fossil mounts in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History while the institution’s dinosaur hall underwent a five-year renovation, which was completed in 2019.

The fossil mounts’ new poses will reflect the new scientific consensus that dinosaurs were alert and lively animals, not the plodding, tail-dragging brutes depicted in old textbooks and popular culture over the past century. Once the renovation is completed, the exhibits in the museum’s Burke Hall of Dinosaurs will highlight the prominent role Yale scientists past and present have played in illuminating the history of life on Earth, including the evolution of dinosaurs.I just hope that 90 years from now, paleontologists and people in my field will look at our work and think, ‘They did a good job,’” she said. Medium sized specimens include bones or fragments ranging in size from 1-2 inches to the size of a human femur. Surface Collecting Ulrich Merkl (November 25, 2015).
