Camarasaurus

Camarasaurus was one of the smaller species of dinosaurs. Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Apatosaurus are some of its larger relatives. These herbivores were common Jurassic dinosaurs. All walked on four legs, supporting immensely long necks and tails


At only 18 metres in length, Camarasaurus was shorter than many sauropods. It was one of the more common Jurassic dinosaurs in North America. Many young specimens, dead before they reached adulthood, have been discovered.

Remains of Centrosaurus were first noted in Alberta by palaeontologist Lawrence Lambe in 1904. Even today, most of the known remains come from the badlands of the Red Deer River


The skull alone was more than one meter (three ft) long, with a single forward thrust nasal horn and small growths over each eye. Bony growths decorated the edge of its frill, and protective tongues of bone drooped over the two large frill openings. Some specimens have been discovered with skin impressions


Like Chasmosaurus, the frill was not solid bone; two large openings on either side reduced the weight considerably, and provided edges for powerful jaw muscles to be attached

The Chasmosaurus was a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period. This dinosaur had a large bone at the base of its neck called a frill. This probably protected its neck from attacks. The Chasmosaurus is also believed to have roamed the area. Four and five toe tracks from this animal have been found in local coal mines as well as a few bones.
