English: Skeletal reconstruction of Diplodocus carnegii. The skull is based on the indeterminate diplodocines USNM 2672 and CM 11161.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} The neck is based on CM 84, with the atlas and axial rib restored after the indeterminate diplodocine AMNH 969; note that the neural spines of the third to fifth cervical vertebrae are poorly preserved and reconstructed.^[1][6][3] The dorsal vertebrae and ribs, the scapulocoracoid, sternal plate, and interclavicle are based on CM 84, with the shape of the neural spine of the tenth dorsal being partially informed by Diplodocus hallorum.^[1][6][7] The clavicle is based on indeterminate diplodocines and the sternal ribs are based on Galeamopus pabsti.^[8][9] (The presence of gastralia is doubtful.)^[10] The sacrum and pelvis are based on CM 84 with some modification after CM 94.^[6][1] The degree of sacral wedging is also based on CM 94.^[11] Caudal vertebrae 1-12 are from CM 84, 13-31 are from CM 94, 32 is from CM 307, 33-36 are from CM 94, 37-73 are from CM 307, and 74-82 are from Apatosaurus louiseae.^[1][6][12] The humeri, radius, and ulna are drawn after Diplodocus hallorum and the manus is drawn after Galeamopus pabsti.^[7][3][9] The sternal plate was drawn after the mounted skeleton in Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The femur is based on CM 84, the tibia, fibula, astragalus, and pes on CM 94, and the calcaneum on an indeterminate diplodocid.^[6][1][13]
