This Camarasaurus grandis skull (GMNH-PV 101) is some of Western Paleontological Laboratories' finest work.? The original is now in Gunma, Japan, it is amongst the best-preserved #sauropod skulls. Described by
Jack McIntosh, and the WPL team from near Bone Cabin Quarry, that Kimmeridigian-aged?Late #Jurassic goldmine that births incredible #dinosaur material to this day.

Found fully disarticulated, missing only the jugals, vomers, stapes, prearticulars, and the sclerotic ring bones, it is a testament of luck meeting preparation.? WPL, took the skull out in essentially one giant block, carefully prepared at times tissue-paper-thin bone.

8 cervicals (including the ultra-rare proatlas (!) (=post-occipital bone in the early literature), 7 dorsal neural spines and
, 53 caudal vertebrae were found, including the tip, which ended in a point. The complete, articulated baby, C. lentus CM 11338, also had 53 caudals. Coincidence? I think not!

66 teeth were collected. Cam has 56 teeth. Some of the extra teeth were unerupted, while a few others rolled in as shed teeth from another individual based on their wear pattern. The WPL team sorted the teeth and were able to pair them! Knowing the largest were up front, they alternated them top and bottom. Amazing!

In the paper describing GMNH-PV 101 the authors suggest one could tell the sex of a specimen based on its base caudal vertebra neural spine thickness. They noted of YPM 1905 (two specimens found next to each other in Marsh Quarry No. 1 at Como Bluff), one had narrow (paratype) and one wide (holotype), neural spines.
