THE MOST PERFECT SAUROPOD SKELETON EVER DISCOVERED  [and] Osteology of Ornithopodous Dinosaurs from the Dinosaur National Monument, Utah - Extracted from Memoirs Carnegie Museum, Vol. X. No. 3, pp.347-410. Issued July 10, 1925 Rare Offprint, 6 plates (including 1 folding), unopened, original printed wrappers, folio, Pittsburgh, PA, Carnegie Museum, 1925. This offprint was previously bound in an over-sized card binding applied by a library, with the upper and lower wrapper each having an additional stiff paper backing applied. The card binding has been removed by Bainbridge Conservation, who professionally conserved the spine with tissue, but the staff paper backing on the wrappers has been left intact. Some loss from the corners of the original wrappers, especially the upper wrapper, but not affecting text. Camarasaurus is one of the most famous and abundant sauropod dinosaurs found in the Late Jurassic-age rocks of the Morrison Formation, which the dinosaur National Monument is famous for. Six skulls, the largest skulls of all the sauropods, and three nearly complete skeletons have been discovered at the historic Carnegie Quarry in the Dinosaur National Monument. The most well-known specimen is the subject of this work. The nearly complete juvenile specimen still holds the title for the best preserved and most complete sauropod skeleton ever found. Collected between 1919 and 1920, it has been on exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History since 1924, and replicas can be seen in numerous museums.  Author, Charles W. Gilmore, describes the specimen in detail, and provides a photo of the fossil as it was found and later as it was displayed. The articulation of the bones allowed Gilmore to conclude Camarasaurus did not have its highest elevation at the shoulders, but rather stood highest at the hips, like Apatosaurus and Diplodocus.  A Very Scarce Off Print [Fantastic Camarasaurus (from Dinosaur National Monument) and Where to Find Them, Hunt-Foster, Ashworth, Paper Dinosaurs 40]
