jpc Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) I saw this. The paper says it was collected form the' East Camarasaurus Quarry' in the Como Bluff area. I do not know this quarry, but I know a nice croc specimen came out of the Bone cabin Quarry a few years ago. Does anyone know if the East Cam is part of the Bone Cabin Quarry? (I realize I may know the Como Bluff area better than anyone here, but I thought I would ask). Edited December 11, 2021 by jpc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I realize I may know the Como Bluff area better than anyone here, but I thought I would ask). An old bulletin of the Gunma Museum that reviews a nearly complete Camarasaurus also includes the East Camarasaurus Quarry "There are three major dinosaur quarries at this locality: Bone Cabin Quarry, East Camarasaurus Quarry'93 (ECQ) east of BCQ, and Stegosaur '99 to the southwest. All three are located in the upper Morrison unit with Bone Cabin Quarry positioned 3 to 7meters above the base of the upper unit and ECQ about l4 meters as well" http://www.gmnh.pref.gunma.jp/wp-content/uploads/bulletin-1.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 thanks for this troodon. I asked the same on FB and a friend confirmed that this is indeed the same croc that I had heard of as being from the Bone Cabin Quarry. I have been to BCQ twice and it looked very different each time. I think now that I may have been at two of these three quarries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
