Cast of a Scaphognathus crassirostris, a kind of pterosaur. On display as part of the exhibit "Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs" at the Cleveland Natural History Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. This animal lived about 150 million years ago. This fossil was found in the Solnhofen formation in Germany. This is a cast; the fossil itself is held by the Institute of Geology and Paleontology at the University of Bonn.
A diagram of the dromaeosaurid dinosaur Pyroraptor olympius with selected fossil elements that can be reliably scaled using measurements given by Allain & Taquet (2000) to produce a realistic estimate of the taxon's size and proportions in life. This silhouette is based on the supposition of the missing elements of Pyroraptor's skeleton having fairly generalized dromaeosaurid proportions.

A restoration of Rinconsaurus compared to a human , • Based proportionally on fossil elements and skeletal reconstruction featured in the Rinconsaurus description,[1] with missing parts based on other titanosaur reconstructions. The remains of Rinconsaurus represent two adults and a juvenile all of which are incomplete; some of the proportions shown here, such as the neck, limb lengths, and skull shape are not certain. • Osteroderms are not yet known in Rinconsaurus. The osteoderms shown here are based loosely on Mendozasaurus.[2] Osteoderms are known from at least 10 titanosaur genera spread across the family tree but it's not clear if all titanosaurs had them.[3] Titanosaur osteoderms are rare and their layout and position on the body are not certain. [4] • The colours and patterns, as with the majority of reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative. • Human silhouette approximately 180 cm tall. NOTE: I often update my images. If you want to have any of my images on a website, please (if possible) don’t host/save it to the website server. I’d prefer it if the image's Wikimedia URL is used. This means that if I update an image, it will be updated on the site as well. Thanks. References ↑ Coria, Jorge; B.J.G. Riga (2003).
