right?) >>

       Berkeley paleontologists, Sam Welles and Rob Long had copies made. I 
saw them back in the 70's. I'd assumed they were from the American Museum of 
Natural History's collection, but they very well may have been from the 
Carnegie. You might want to see Holland's papers. Two Carnegie pubs might talk 
about 
it...been a while since I read them:
Holland, 1915, Heads and Tails; a few notes relating to the structure of the 
sauropod dinosaurs: Annals of the Carnegie Museum, 9,pp.273-278.
Berman and McIntosh, 1978, Skull and relationships of the Upper Jurassic 
sauropod Apatosaurus: Bulletin of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 8, 35 
pages.
       If I remember correctly, the Field Museum's Apatosaurus mount also 
spent spent time sans skull. DV
