Camarasaurus Ischium Bone

Request Estimate

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.
