the bottom of this page Step

Valley-fold over these 2 lines.
(Fold the 2 edges in the center to the
edges indicated by the 2 yellow arrows)
Step
5:
Valley-fold over these 2 lines
Step
6:
Valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Use the points indicated by the arrows as guidance
(they are prefolded lines of step 2)
Step

Repeat steps 8 and 9 on these 2 edges
Step
12:
Prefold the rectangular center in half
Step
13:
Press the edge inwards by making an inside reverse
fold over these 3 lines (=mountain-fold over the short
line in the middle and valley-fold over the 2 outer lines)
Step
14:
Make the same sort of folds as in step 13 over these
3 lines. Fold the edges above (see large arrow) to the
edges below (see small arrow)
Step

Repeat steps 13 and 14 on the other side, see arrow
Step
16:
Turn the model
Step

Pull the edge at the 2 blue mountain-fold lines on the right
to the left by making a valley-fold over the 2 blue lines
on the left.
Fold the model in half over the yellow line
while you do this.

Make an outside reverse fold over the 2 blue lines.
Make the same fold as the short line on the other

20:
Fold the tip of the nose to the inside,
see very short blue line.

Step
22:
Mountain-fold over this line, make the same fold
on the other side of the tail (=valley-fold)
Step
23:
Press the tail downwards on the spot indicated
by the arrow on the left and upwards on the spot
indicated by the arrow on the right.
Step

Press the leg flat between your fingers,

Do the same with the other 3 legs.
Done!
This is a small one
And this
is a big one (I glued 4 standard size
papers
together to make a bigger origami paper)
And this is a video with me folding the Apatosaurus:
