Summary

Description
English: The skull from the original mount of Brontosaurus (= Apatosaurus excelsus) holotype YPM 1980. This skull was sculpted by hand by an unknown author for the Yale Peabody Museum before 1931. In 1931 the skull was unveiled to the public as the affixed head of the overall skeletal mount. What it is known today is that this skull had been previously sculpted at some point between the late 1890s and the moment in 1931 when it was unveiled to the public at the Yale Peabody Museum.
Français : Voici le crâne utilisé lors du premier montage original d'un squelette de Brontosaurus (= Apatosaurus excelsus), holotype dont le numéro d'inventaire est YPM 1980. Ce crâne, fortement spéculatif, fut sculpté à la main par un auteur inconnu pour le Muséum d'histoire naturelle Peabody avant 1931. En 1931 le crâne fut dévoilé au public avec l'ensemble du squelette, faisant office de la tête de l'animal. Ce qui est connu à ce jour c'est que ce crâne fut sculpté à un moment donné entre les années 1890 et 1931 lorsqu'il fut dévoilé au public au Muséum d'histoire naturelle Peabody.
