phylum | Chordata | Dicraeosaurus is a genus of small diplodocoid sauropod dinosaur. It was named for the spines on the back of the neck. The first fossil was described by paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914. Unlike most diplodocoids, Dicraeosaurus had a large head with a relatively short and wide neck.
