Camelotia (meaning "from Camelot") is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Late Triassic or Early Jurassic in what is now England.^[1]^[2] Paleontologists are divided on which family it may belong to; in the past, Camelotia has generally been assigned to the prosauropods, but this group of primitive dinosaurs is in constant flux.^[1] The genus is now considered a member of the family Melanorosauridae, which includes the first true giant herbivorous dinosaurs.^[1]^[3]
