Summary

Camelotia is a large-bodied sauropodomorph from the latest Triassic (Rhaetian) of southwest England. It is best known from a partial postcranial skeleton found in the Westbury Formation and named by Peter M. Galton in 1985. Subsequent work has generally placed Camelotia as a relatively derived sauropodomorph close to the origin of Sauropoda, although its exact position among early non-sauropod sauropodomorphs remains debated. It is sometimes placed in Melanorosauridae as a close relative of Melanorosaurus. With a body length and mass estimated at 8–10 metres (26–33 ft) and 3.8 tonnes (8,400 lb), respectively, it is one of the largest sauropodomorphs known from the Triassic.
