Mamenchisaurus youngi restoration,

• Based proportionally on a skeletal reconstruction by Scott Hartman. [1] Retrieved online May 29, 2007.

• How flexible Sauropod necks are and how they were carried in life is a debatable issue. In this image the neck is posed, approximately, in the Osteological Neutral Pose (ONP) as determined by Hartmans skeletal. This is were all the vertebra are 'Neutrally' articulated, with no delfection up or down.

• The dermal (skin) structures and spines are not known for Mamenchisaurus but are known in other sauropods. The dermal features have been based on those describled for a Diplodocid in the ‘Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs’ 1997 by Currie and Padian. Their placment/arrangement on the body is speculative.

• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.

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.
