Caudal vertebrae form an important part of the skeleton and provide interesting information about the anatomy and structure of the long, muscular tail of Camptosaurus. The Morrison Formation is one of the best-known dinosaur-bearing geological formations in the world and has yielded an exceptional diversity of dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of western North America. A SPECIAL EXAMPLE FOR COLLECTORS Fossil vertebrae are particularly interesting pieces for collectors because they actually represent skeletal material and provide a direct connection to the anatomy of extinct dinosaurs. This specimen would make an excellent addition to a collection with Jurassic dinosaurs, ornithopods, vertebrate fossils, or material from the Morrison Formation.
