VERIFY:weight_max_kg: stored=3000 suggested=3800 confidence=medium — McPhee et al. describe Camelotia as the largest confidently estimated Late Triassic sauropodomorph at 3.8 metric tons, so the stored 3000 kg upper bound falls below the published limb-scaling estimate.

VERIFY:weight_min_kg: stored=1500 suggested=2750 confidence=low — Published mass estimates for the holotype cluster between about 2.75 tonnes (Molina-Pérez & Larramendi, 2020) and 3.8 tonnes (McPhee et al., 2018); the stored 1500 kg lower bound sits well below any current published estimate.
