There are fossils from rare diplodocids. Supersaurus, Suuwassea, Amphicoelias and Barosaurus. In some case these fossils may be larger individual members of know animals like Diplodocus.

Lontic Barasaurus

Barosaurus was slim-limbed like Diplodocus but with shorter tail bones and longer neck bones that were very light and hollow. Tooth wear seems to be different from other diplodocids more like that of camarsaurs indicating a high feeding strategy.

Jasman Apatosaurus Panini Camptosaurus Kaiyodo Allosaurus Barosaurus

Barosaurus is a rare animal in the Morrison but this could be because fragmentary fossils are indistigusihable from Diplodocus.
