Hey, VSauce! Michael here!

They are trouble!

Full skulls from Saurpods are fairly rare, since they are so fragile. They are huge animals though. Camarasaurus was much taller than the largest predator at the time (Allosaurus). They were up to like 70 feet long, and 30ish tons. Allosaurus was 30 feet long (still long), but only 2-3 tons. A full grown Camarasaurus would probably just fine. Young ones would be very vulnerable (but they did grow SUPER fast compared to mammals)

It was very exciting. I’m hoping to do more volunteering of that sort again.

Agreed. It’s mind blowing

Camarasaurus has large teeth for a Sauropod. They are like little shovels. This one was worn down quite a bit, so the Paelo on site said it was likely an older adult:


You can see a skull of one here for reference:

The Tyrrell is exactly the museum I’m after. Thank you for the further recommendations!

I have not been up to Alberta yet. I’ve been wanting to take my son

Camarasaurus, because I found a tooth of one while volunteering on a dig site

Anyone running on a “Socialized Tamales” platform would eternally have my vote

There are a LOT of islands in Greece. Sodor is but one of them

It’s just like using MongoDB instead of a structured database!
