===Paleopathology=== An unnamed diplodocid specimen from the [[Morrison Formation]] nicknamed "Dolly" shows evidence of a throat infection that created cauliflowered bone in the vertebral air sacs. The infection is theorized to have been similar to [[aspergillosis]], though research is ongoing. Whether or not the infection contributed to the dinosaur's death remains unknown.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livescience.com/dinosaur-respiratory-infection-first-evidence-sauropod|title = Achoo!
