Is this a genuine Camarasaurus fossil?


Recommended Posts

So I gave up on finding spinosaurus claws so I decided to switch carnivores to herbivores and to my surprise I found a lot of beautiful pieces like this and I was wondering if it's genuine or not

Yes, it is genuine. I believe the post below is the same specimen in question.

It's a real caudal vertebra but not sure it belongs to a Camarasaurus.  The neural spine is not what I would expect from one.  May just be a taphonomic distoration.

Here are examples of some from a Camarasaurus.
