Is There a Camarasaurus?

Camarasaurus is one of the most common sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs) of the Jurassic. Both adult and juvenile Camarasaurus bones have been found at Dinosaur.

What did the Camarasaurus look like?

Camarasaurus was a long-necked, long-tailed giant herbivore, measuring about 24 to 65 feet (7.5 to 20 m) long 15 feet (4.6 m) tall at the hips, and weighing up to 20 tons (roughly 28000 kg). It was much smaller than its fellow sauropods. It had a small, long head with a blunt snout and spoon-shaped teeth.

Why did the Camarasaurus go extinct?

A big meteorite crashed into Earth, changing the climatic conditions so dramatically that dinosaurs could not survive. Ash and gas spewing from volcanoes suffocated many of the dinosaurs. Diseases wiped out entire populations of dinosaurs. Food chain imbalances lead to the starvation of the dinosaurs.
