How this 3D skeleton was made
This 3D model is a reconstruction. Most bone shapes (421 of 502) are estimated from close relatives and published reconstructions. The bone shapes are not the actual shapes of this species' fossils. 4 bones were shaped from photos or figures of this species' own fossils. 77 are borrowed from close relatives.

- 3D skeleton: A reconstruction created on this site using freely usable resources (scientific papers, out-of-copyright books, and Wikimedia photos) (2026-10-05). Of the 502 bones (excluding teeth), 4 were modeled from photographs, drawings, and dimensions of actual fossils of this species; 77 were adapted in size by borrowing bone shapes from close relatives; and 421 were estimated. Sources used: Wikimedia Commons (authors listed in figures.json) (CC BY 2.0 / CC BY-SA 3.0 / CC BY-SA 4.0 / Public domain).

- Discovered bones: 2 bones are documented in the literature as fossil finds or visible in photographs (the rest are undiscovered, or unknown from the literature)
