1. Title: "Camarasaurus: A Glimpse into the Jurassic World of Portugal's Prehistoric Past" 2.. This outline illustration showcases the majestic form of the Camarasaurus, an iconic dinosaur that once roamed the Earth during the Jurassic period, around 157 to 155 million years ago. Discovered in the Morrison Formation in the western United States, this herbivorous dinosaur is now recognized as a key member of the Camarasauridae family, which was widespread throughout the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods. The Camarasaurus, meaning "chambered lizard," was characterized by its long, low body, small head, and distinctive, domed skull. Its name derives from the numerous small, rounded bony structures, or "camara," located inside the skull, which are believed to have supported the dinosaur's powerful jaw muscles. This illustration offers a unique perspective on the Camarasaurus, highlighting its diapsid reptile features, including its diapsid skull, which is characterized by two pairs of openings on either side. The Camarasaurus is also classified as an archosaur, a group of reptiles that includes crocodiles, birds, and dinosaurs. As a member of the Macronaria subgroup, the Camarasaurus was a large, heavy-bodied dinosaur, measuring up to 33 feet (10 meters) long and weighing around 15 tons. Its elongated, barrel-shaped body and four sturdy limbs were adapted for supporting its massive size and weight, while its long neck and tail provided balance and stability. This intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world of the Mesozoic Era, a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and Portugal was home to a diverse array of fascinating creatures. The Camarasaurus, with its distinctive features and powerful presence, serves as a testament to the rich and complex history of life on our planet.
