£ 51.00
Genuine Camarasaurus lentus Dinosaur Vertebra Fragment FossilThis listing is for a genuine Dinosaur Camarasaurus lentus vertebra fragment
fossil from Utah, USA, supplied with a metal display stand. This impressive sauropod dinosaur bone specimen comes from the famous Morrison Formation and dates to the Upper Jurassic Period, a time when giant long-necked dinosaurs dominated many prehistoric landscapes of North America. It is a carefully chosen fossil with excellent display appeal, ideal for collectors of dinosaur fossils, Jurassic fossil bone, sauropod specimens, vertebra fossils, Morrison Formation fossils, and authentic natural history display pieces.The fossil shown in the photographs is the actual specimen you will receive. Full sizing and scale can be seen in the listing photos. Presented with its metal stand, this genuine dinosaur fossil makes an attractive display piece for a fossil cabinet, desk, study, educational collection, museum-style display, or natural history room.Fossil Type, Species and ClassificationCamarasaurus lentus was a large herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of North America. Sauropods are among the most iconic dinosaurs, recognised for their long necks, long tails, huge bodies, and pillar-like limbs. Camarasaurus is one of the best-known sauropods from the Morrison Formation and is valued by collectors because it represents one of the classic long-necked dinosaurs of the American Jurassic.Camarasaurus belongs to Sauropoda within the order Saurischia and is traditionally placed in the family Camarasauridae. The genus Camarasaurus was formally named by Edward Drinker Cope in 1877, and the species Camarasaurus lentus was named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889. Compared with more elongated sauropods such as Diplodocus, Camarasaurus had a more robust body, a deeper skull, powerful jaws, and broad spoon-shaped teeth suited to feeding on tough Jurassic vegetation.This specimen represents a vertebra fragment, part of the backbone of the dinosaur. Vertebrae were essential skeletal elements, forming the central support structure of the body, neck, back, and tail. In sauropods, vertebrae were often complex, strong, and lightened by internal spaces, helping support the enormous size of the animal while reducing unnecessary weight. A genuine Camarasaurus vertebra fragment is a desirable piece of dinosaur anatomy and a direct connection to one of the great plant-eating giants of prehistoric North America.Morrison Formation, Utah, USAThis fossil comes from Utah, USA, from the Morrison Formation, one of the most famous dinosaur-bearing geological formations in the world. The Morrison Formation extends across much of the western United States and has produced some of the most recognisable dinosaurs ever discovered, including Camarasaurus, Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, Ceratosaurus, and other important Jurassic animals.The Morrison Formation dates to the Upper Jurassic, approximately 145 to 156 million years ago. Utah is especially well known for important Morrison Formation dinosaur localities, making fossils from this region highly collectable. Dinosaur fossils from Utah are popular with collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts because they combine scientific importance, classic American geology, and strong visual appeal.Upper Jurassic Geology and Ancient EnvironmentDuring the Upper Jurassic, the area now known as Utah formed part of a vast inland environment made up of river systems, floodplains, seasonal wetlands, lakes, ponds, and open lowland habitats. The Morrison Formation was deposited in layers of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and clay-rich sediment, laid down by ancient rivers, floods, and quiet-water settings across a changing prehistoric landscape.This environment supported a diverse dinosaur fauna. Large herbivorous sauropods such as Camarasaurus would have moved through the landscape feeding on vegetation, while plated dinosaurs, smaller herbivores, turtles, crocodile-like reptiles, fish, early mammals, and predatory theropods shared the ecosystem. Dinosaur bones were often preserved when remains became buried by river or floodplain sediments. Over millions of years, mineral-rich groundwater passed through the buried bone, replacing and strengthening the original material through fossilisation.Morphology and Display FeaturesThis Camarasaurus lentus vertebra fragment preserves genuine fossilised dinosaur bone from a large Jurassic sauropod. Vertebra fragments can show dense fossil bone texture, internal structure, mineral staining, natural surface detail, weathered edges, and colour variation caused by ancient burial and mineralisation. Depending on its original position in the skeleton, sauropod vertebral bone may show features connected with strength, support, muscle attachment, or weight reduction.As an authentic fossil specimen, it may display natural cracks, repairs, matrix traces, irregular edges, surface wear, and other features consistent with genuine fossil bone. These characteristics add to its natural appearance and help show the deep geological history of the piece. The included metal stand enhances the presentation and allows the fossil to be displayed as a freestanding specimen, making it ideal for collectors looking for a genuine dinosaur bone fossil with an attractive presentation.Certificate of AuthenticityThis fossil is a genuine specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. The certificate provides reassurance that the item is an authentic fossil specimen and not a modern replica or cast.Collectable Dinosaur Vertebra Display SpecimenA genuine Camarasaurus lentus vertebra fragment from the Morrison Formation is a desirable addition to any fossil collection. It combines a recognised dinosaur species, a famous Upper Jurassic formation, a classic Utah locality, and a display-ready metal stand. This fossil is well suited for dinosaur enthusiasts, fossil collectors, educators, natural history displays, and anyone looking for an authentic piece of Jurassic dinosaur history.
