Dippy is a plaster cast of a fossilised skeleton found in Wyoming in 1898, the original skeleton is now in Pennsylvania. The discovery was found to be a new species and was indeed named Diplodocus carnegii
FYI: Andrew Carnegie financed the dig (and others) and was so pleased that the species was named after him, and that at the time (and a very long time after) it was the longest land animal known (it is a very long tail) that he ordered multiple plaster copies of the entire skeleton, then traveled the world donating one here and there, a generous gift, or perhaps personal glorification.
