One of my favorite dinosaurs is the Camarasaurus, it's currently my favorite sauropod. Way back when I was little little, the local museum had a dinosaur exhibit for a short time. And right there was you walked in, they had a full skeleton of a baby Camarasaurus still in it's matrix
Looking back it must have been a cast, but at the time I was enraptured believing it to be the real thing. Here was one of the animals I'd only seen in picture books, right in front of me, and it was wonderful.
Much much later, as a high school graduation gift, I got to go to the Royal Terrell Museum. And they had an entire adult Camarasaurus mounted, it was so beautiful I nearly broke down in tears (heck, I'm getting misty eyed just remembering)
I had always liked their boxy heads, and how different they were compared to every other sauropod out there. But those two museum visits were so... um, profound in their impact on me that it will ALWAYS be tucked close to my heart
