OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Suuwassea (meaning ancient thunder ) is a genus of diplodocoid dinosaur found in the strata of the Morrison Formation, located in southern Carbon County, Montana, . The fossil remains were recovered in a series of expeditions during a period spanning the years 1999 and 2000, described by J.D. Harris and Peter Dodson in 2004. They consist of a disarticulated but associated partial skeleton, including partial vertebral series and limb bones.Since the fossil was found in an ancestral territory of the Native American Crow tribe, the etymology of the generic name is derived from a term in their language, suuwassa, the first thunder heard in Spring . The root suu, meaning thunder and wassa, ancient , are a nod to the thunder lizard moniker often applied to sauropods. The specific descriptor honours the deceased sponsor of the expeditions that recovered the fossil.
