Camarasaurus Ischium Bone

$5,500.00
Unavailable

This Camarasaurus ischium bone originates from the Morrison Formation in Albany County, Wyoming, one of the most significant Jurassic fossil beds in North America. Dated to approximately 150 million years ago, it comes from a landscape once dominated by vast floodplains, where enormous sauropods moved through a rich and diverse ecosystem.

The specimen derives from Camarasaurus, a defining genus of Late Jurassic sauropods known for its robust skeletal structure and widespread presence across the Morrison ecosystem. Its scientific interpretation and skeletal reconstruction are informed by the foundational paleontological work of Charles Gilmore, whose early research helped establish the framework for understanding North American sauropods.

Presented with a certificate of authenticity, this bone stands as a direct and tangible remnant of deep prehistory, offering both scientific and aesthetic significance for advanced natural history collections.

  • Fossilized sauropod elements from the Morrison Formation occupy a consistent position within the upper tier of the natural history market, particularly when attributable to well-documented genera such as Camarasaurus. While single elements are more accessible than articulated skeletons, they remain increasingly finite due to tightened collection regulations and the decreasing availability of legally sourced material.

    Specimens with clear provenance, geological context, and documentation continue to attract both institutional and private collectors seeking scientifically meaningful pieces with display presence. Within this segment, Morrison Formation material maintains enduring demand due to its historical importance in North American paleontology and its direct association with some of the most studied dinosaurs in scientific literature.

  • The Camarasaurus ischium bone described herein originates from the Morrison Formation, a federally recognised and scientifically significant geological unit. Prospective collectors and institutions are strongly advised to verify the full provenance and legal collection history of any fossil specimen prior to acquisition, ensuring compliance with applicable federal, state, and international laws governing the excavation, sale, and ownership of palaeontological material.

    Fossils originating from public lands in the United States are subject to the Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) and may not be legally collected, sold, or transferred without appropriate authorisation. The estimated value assigned to this specimen reflects market conditions at the time of appraisal only and should not be relied upon as a current or guaranteed valuation, as the fossil and natural history market is subject to fluctuation.

    Authentication, provenance documentation, and legal due diligence remain the sole responsibility of any prospective buyer or acquiring institution. Sable's House accepts no liability for transactions entered into on the basis of this portfolio appraisal.

All appraisals featured on this site are presented solely as portfolio work and are not available for purchase.
