11.6" Camptosaurus Femur - Bone Cabin Quarry

This is a well preserved, 11.6" long femur from the Late Jurassic, beaked, plant-eating dinosaur Camptosaurus. It was collected from the history Bone Cabin Quarry location in Wyoming.As with nearly all dinosaur bones it has some repair, gap fills and minor surface restoration. It comes with a custom made metal display stand.

Camptosaurus is a relatively heavily built, plant eating dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. It had robust hindlimbs, broad feet and a pointed snout, equipped with a beak. Adults could reach up to 25 feet in length.

The Bone Cabin Quarry has historical significance because it was discovered in 1897 and excavated by the American Museum of Natural History from 1898 through 1905. It lies near the famous Como Bluff and got it's name from a nearby sheepherder's cabin built entirely out of fossil dinosaur bones. This quarry now lies on private land, where it has continued to be excavated.
