	CAMARASAURUS - Dinosaur - Enchanted Learning Software
		Camarasaurus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.
		Camarasaurus probably moved slowly on four massive legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).
		Camarasaurus was a saurischian dinosaur, a sauropodomorpha, and one of the smallest of the sauropoda (long-necked, long-tailed plant-eaters).

	Camarasaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Camarasaurus (KAM-ah-rah-SAWR-us) meaning 'chambered lizard', referring to the holes in its vertebrae (Greek kamara meaning 'vaulted chamber' or anything with an arched cover and sauros meaning 'lizard') was a genus of quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaurs.
		Camarasaurus is considered to be a basal macronarian, more closely related to the common ancestor of all macronarians than to more evolved forms like Brachiosaurus.
		Camarasaurus is also featured in the Vivendi Universal game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis.

		CAMARASAURUS (KAM-ah-rah-sawr-us) "Chambered Lizard" (Greek kamara = chamber + sauros = lizard, referring to the holes in its vertebrae)
		Camarasaurus grew to be 30 to 60 feet (9 to 18m) long and 15 feet (4.6m) high at the hips.
		There were holes in the vertebrae to lighten the weight of the backbone.

	Europasaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These fossils were determined to represent a dwarf species, and not merely juveniles of a large macronarian species, by studying the histology of the fossil bones.
		Likewise, by comparing the long-bone histology of a typical large-bodied sauropod, Camarasaurus, paleontologists have concluded that the diminutive size of Europasaurus resulted from a decreased growth rate.
		Unlike Camarasaurus, the neural spines of the presacral vertebrae are undivided.

		Camarasaurus was probably the most common sauropod dinosaur of the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation in North America.
		Camarasaurus probably fed on plants that were coarse and tough.
		One interesting twist of fate for Camarasaurus was that its head was mistakenly placed on the skeleton of Apatosaurus at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

		Sauropods were quadrupedal herbivores and ranged in size from 21 to 120 feet in length (7-40 meters).
		Camarasaurus is the only sauropod for which a complete skeleton has been found.
		These long-necked dinosaurs were somewhat smaller than other sauropods of the time and grew to a length of about 59 feet (18 meters).

		Camarasaurus is one of the most famous and abundant of the long necked dinosaurs (sauropods) recovered from the Late Jurassic, Morrison Formation of North America.
		The Camarasaurids had the largest skulls of all of the sauropods, but lacked the extremely long neck and long tail of some of their popular cousins.
		This excellent sauropod skull is from a nearly complete Camarasaurus skeleton from the famous Howe Stephens Quarry near Greybull WY. The entire skull was articulated, shows all stages of teeth coming in, and was remarkably well preserved.

		Camarasaurus was one of the smallest sauropod species, but it was also one of the most common Cretaceous dinosaurs.
		Unlike most sauropods which had blunt peg-like teeth, Camarasaurus had robust, epatulate(chisel shaped) teeth throughout their mouths.
		These teeth were designed for chewing which allowed Camarasaurus to devour much tougher vegetation with ease.

		After the American Museum of Natural History acquired Edward Cope's fossil collection in 1902, Henry F. Osborn and Charles C. Mook published a detailed study of one of the sauropods - Camarasaurus - in 1921.
		A year later, in 1922, a fully articulated and almost complete skeleton of a juvenile Camarasaurus was found in the Carnegie Quarry, Utah (shortly destined to become the Dinosaur National Monument).
		Charles W. Gilmore described this specimen in 1925, concluding that Camarasaurus stood highest at the hips - not the shoulders as had been hitherto describerd by Osborn and Mook - similar to Apatosaurus and Diplodocus.

		The skull is from a nearly complete Camarasaurus skeleton from the famous Howe Stephens Quarry near Greybull WY. The lower jaw shows all stages of teeth coming in, along with some teeth ready to shed.

	Carnegie Juvenile Camarasaurus, 1925
		The reason the Osborn/Mook memoir on Camarasaurus was described as "almost definitive" (see item 39) is that one year after its publication, a fully articulated and nearly complete skeleton of a juvenile Camarasaurus was recovered from the Carnegie quarry, which shortly after this find became the Dinosaur National Monument.
		The flat bone found next to the tail is a sternal plate, which was placed beneath the neck in the final display.
		The articulation of the bones allowed Gilmore to conclude that Camarasaurus did not have its highest elevation at the shoulders, as Osborn, Mook, and Christman had reconstructed it, but rather stood highest at the hips, like Apatosaurus and Diplodocus.
