How this 3D skeleton was made
This 3D model is a reconstruction. Most bone shapes (292 of 338) are borrowed from close relatives and fitted to this species' size and body proportions. The bone shapes are not the actual shapes of this species' fossils. 14 bones were shaped from photos or figures of this species' own fossils. 32 are estimated.
