MMQ

The three most abundant sauropods in the Morrison Formation Camarasaurus, Apatosaurus, and Diplodocus also are preserved at the Mygatt-Moore Quarry, but unlike within the formation as a whole, at the MMQ Apatosaurus accounts for 85% of the sauropod bones at the site; in the formation overall, Camarasaurus is the most abundant sauropod.
