The present radiologic study included the identification of chronological appearance of primary and secondary ossification centers and their development in the seven cervical vertebrae of the dromedary. Twenty-six fetuses of different CVR lengths ranging between 6.5-125 cm were X-rayed laterally and dorsoventrally. The three primary cen- ters of ossification (one for the body and two for the neural arch) of each vertebra were distinguished in the 51 CVR length fetuses. They increased in size in the larger CVR length X-ray photos. The secondary five ossifica- tion centers (one for spinous process, two for the transverse processes and two cranial and caudal to the epiphysis) of C3-7 began to be identified by the CVR length of 94 cm. The results were discussed with that of camels and other animals and expressed with 10 figures.
