A trip to the London Natural History Museum back in 2023 permitted team members to get up close to a remarkable Camarasaurus exhibit.  The mounted cast of Camarasaurus fossils towers over visitors.  It is one of the largest exhibits in the dinosaur gallery.  The cast is a replica of fossils excavated from the famous Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation.  It remains one of our favourite sights at the London Natural History Museum.

Mike from the UK-based mail order company commented:

“The dinosaur gallery at the Museum is quite dark.  It is difficult to take photographs due to the lighting conditions.  However, we wanted to take a photograph of the head and the cervical vertebrae.  Luckily, we were able to pick out some of the beautiful features of the ornate ceiling and the detailed carvings on the columns.  The London Natural History Museum not only houses rare treasures such as the Camarasaurus exhibit, it is also an incredible building.”

The Camarasaurus Exhibit

Camarasaurus fossils are the most common sauropod fossils known from the famous Morrison Formation.  Camarasaurus was formally named and described in 1877 (Cope). Currently, four species are recognised. We suspect this mount represents cast materials from the collection of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.  Several models of this iconic dinosaur have been made.  For example, Safari Ltd have made a model of Camarasaurus.

Moreover, Haolonggood recently introduced Camarasaurus figures.  In addition, PNSO have added a Camarasaurus to their impressive range of figures. The PNSO Njor the Camarasaurus figure measures thirty-five centimetres long. In addition, it stands an impressive twenty-four centimetres tall. It is supplied with an A3 Sci-Art poster and a sixty-four-page, full-colour booklet. Naturally, we also send out a free Camarasaurus fact sheet with this excellent sauropod figure.
