A hypothetical life restoration of Ampelosaurus atacis

• Ampelosaurus is known from hundreds of fossil specimens which show most of the dinosaur's osteological details, however, there are few articulated remains or reconstructions of the material so its overall proportions and life appearance are uncertain.
• Ampelosaurus is known to have supported osteoderms, only four are currently known. The number of these osteoderms that an individual Ampelosaurus would have supported in life and their and position on the body is not currently known. It's thought that due to the rarity of titanosaur osteoderms that they would be quite sparse on the body. The position and layout of the osteoderms has been loosely based on this interpretation, which is based on the work of Vidal et al 2015. [1]

os Tanzanie Tendaguru fossile Allosauria formation
Allosaurus has become a bit of a taxonomic waste basket.  Ce terme concerne le matériel fossile provenant de théropodes attribué au genre.  Cependant, certaines preuves justifiant l'attribution du matériel sont provisoires.  Par exemple, des os de théropodes du sud-est de la Tanzanie (Formation Tendaguru) avaient été attribués à une espèce d'allosaure nommée Allosaurus tendagurensis.  En 1925,
