Description

This listing is for an exceptional Fossil Dinosaur Bone from Camarasaurus, professionally mounted on a custom metal stand for display. The fossil originates from the Hell Creek Formation, dated to the Maastrichtian Stage of the Upper Cretaceous, and was discovered in Harding County, South Dakota, USA.

Fossil Type & Species: This specimen is a fossilised bone from Camarasaurus, a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur known for its large body, long neck, and short snout. Camarasaurus lived during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, and its fossils are often identified by their thick, robust bone structure and marrow cavity patterns. Though more commonly associated with Jurassic sites, isolated Camarasaurus material has been documented in transitional and reworked Cretaceous deposits.

Geology: The Hell Creek Formation is one of the most significant fossil-bearing rock units in North America, known for its rich assemblage of Late Cretaceous vertebrate fossils. It comprises sandstones, mudstones, and shales deposited in fluvial (river) and floodplain environments. The Maastrichtian age (approximately 72–66 million years ago) marks the last stage of the Cretaceous period. This formation has yielded numerous dinosaur taxa, including the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and rare sauropod elements such as this Camarasaurus bone.

Scientific & Display Value: Fossil dinosaur bones such as this Camarasaurus piece are treasured both for their scientific relevance and aesthetic impact. Displayed on a metal stand, this piece is perfect for fossil collectors, educators, or enthusiasts looking for a genuine dinosaur fossil to showcase. The texture and mineralisation reflect the millions of years of fossilisation that have preserved this ancient bone.
