What was the intraspecific size variation present in any/all species of Camarasaurus?

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there might not be a specific comprehensive database solely focused on intraspecific size variation for sauropods, including Camarasaurus, with a large sample size. However, there are a few steps you could consider taking to address your research question:

Literature Review: Conduct a thorough literature review to gather measurements and data from various studies that have examined Camarasaurus specimens. While individual studies might have small sample sizes, collectively, they can provide a larger dataset for your analysis.

Data Aggregation: If you can find measurements from multiple studies, you can aggregate the data to create a larger dataset. Be cautious about data quality and consistency across studies. Some measurements might need to be standardized or adjusted for differences in measurement methods.

Contact Researchers: You might consider reaching out to researchers in the field who have studied sauropods, including Camarasaurus. They might have additional unpublished data or insights that could be useful for your research.

Museum Collections: Museums often house extensive collections of fossils, including sauropod specimens. Some museums might have a broader range of measurements that you can access.

Collaboration: Collaborating with other researchers who have access to larger datasets can help you achieve your research goals. They might have access to more data that aligns with your research question.

Generate Synthetic Data: If you cannot find a large enough dataset, you might consider using statistical techniques to generate synthetic data that approximates the expected size variation. This can help you explore the trends and patterns you're interested in.

Statistical Analysis: Depending on the size of the dataset you're able to compile, you can perform various statistical analyses to quantify and describe the intraspecific size variation within Camarasaurus. This might involve calculating measures of central tendency, and dispersion, and conducting hypothesis tests for differences in size between subgroups.

Data Sharing Platforms: Check if there are data-sharing platforms or repositories where researchers in the field upload their data. While this might be less common for paleontological data, it's worth exploring.

Remember that research in this area may have advanced since my last update in September 2021, and I recommend checking recent publications, attending conferences, or reaching out to experts in the field to see if there have been any developments or new resources related to intraspecific size variation in sauropods and Camarasaurus.

I found a research paper that describes a new specimen of Camarasaurus sp. from northeastern Wyoming that contributes to our understanding of the degrees of size-related skeletal plasticity and intraspecific variation within the genus.

However, I couldn’t find any information on the intraspecific size variation present in any/all species of Camarasaurus. It is possible that more research has been conducted since my last search.
