Cedarosaurus: One of the newest named dinosaurs from the Cedar Mountain Formation is the brachiosaurid Cedarosaurus weiskopfae. The name means "(Carol) Weiskopf's Cedar (Mountain) reptile." The specimen used to name this sauropod is shown here, along with two volunteers, Bill Brooks (left) and Virginia Tidwell (right). Cedarosaurus has characteristic tall front legs, which give it a look similar to a giraffe.
