This is an authentic Camarasaurus vertebra neural spine from the renowned Morrison Formation.

Camarasaurus was one of the most iconic and common sauropod dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic, a massive long-necked herbivore that roamed what is now North America around 150 million years ago. This large, robust neural spine comes from the tail of Camarasaurus, where it once helped anchor powerful muscles and ligaments that supported and stabilized the dinosaur’s enormous body and long tail.

Measuring approximately 2.2 inches wide, 10.5 inches tall, and 3 inches long, and weighing 1.85 lbs, this impressive specimen showcases the classic tall, blade-like structure of these Jurassic giants. Its substantial size and heft deliver serious presence and museum-quality appeal as a standout display piece.

Specimen Highlights:

• Type: Authentic Camarasaurus vertebra neural spine (sauropod dinosaur) from the tail
• Dimensions: 2.2 inches wide × 10.5 inches tall × 3 inches long
• Weight: 1.85 lbs
• Preservation: Exceptionally well-preserved through natural agatization (silicification), resulting in outstanding hardness, a polished-like sheen in places, beautifully detailed bone texture, and subtle natural color variations. Highly resistant and display-ready.
• Condition: Minimal restoration — only very minor gap-filling during preparation. No over-restoration, painting, or artificial enhancements. 100% authentic fossil bone with its original natural patina.
• Provenance: Morrison Formation, Late Jurassic (~150 million years ago) — sourced directly from a trusted paleontologist.
• Display: comes with a custom display stand.

Bonus: Includes a custom information card with details about Camarasaurus, geological context, a human size reference to help visualize the massive scale of this Jurassic sauropod, and the time period (~150 million years ago).

This striking neural spine offers a dramatic and tangible connection to the Age of Dinosaurs — a powerful piece of the anatomy that once helped support one of the largest land animals of the Jurassic period.

It will be carefully shipped in a protective display case, ready for immediate exhibition.

Perfect for serious paleontology collections, natural history displays, home museums, or as a stunning and meaningful gift for any dinosaur enthusiast.
