Text Appearing Before Image:
Model of the amphibious Dinosaur, Camarasaurus. It was fifty-two feet long and about twenty feet in height. Constructed by Erwin S. Christman, American Museum of Natural History. (Photo.—G. C. Clufton. Erwin S. Christman, whose early death was a signal loss both to art and science, are the outcome of fifteen years' research by President H. F. Osborn, Dr. W. K. Gregory, Dr. C. C. Mook, Erwin S. Christman of the American Museum of Natural History, and other experts. The pose of the skeleton was worked out in a miniature model with flexible joints, and the muscular restoration is based on a careful comparison with living reptiles. This reptile was fifty two feet in length and about twenty feet in height. Its skeleton offers a striking example of adaptation to special needs. A body of such huge dimensions required an adequate scaffolding for its support and for attachment of the muscles which served for locomotion ; the bony framework of Camarasaurus shows us how admirably the problem was solved. Its long neck demanded strong and firmly anchored muscles, and these required large surfaces of bone for their attachment, therefore we are not sur- prised to find that the neck vertebrae of the animal were of complicated de- sign, hollowed out by lateral cavities
