Xenoposeidon_Rebachisaurid_2017.jpg


This paleontological restoration is highly hypothetical, as very little fossil material of the animal is known. Use of this image might be controversial.

Reason: Only a single fragmentary fossil vertebrae is known
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia.
