Description This is Notocolossus gonzalezparejasi, a giant titanosaur that is closely related to Dreadnoughtus. As you can see, its remains are rather incomplete; thus, this reconstruction is speculative.
The larger individual represents the holotype specimen. Not all haemal arches are illustrated. Scale bar is 1m per square.

Notocolossus seems to be forgotten nowadays. Nice skeletal!

Ooo, double neato!
I like the dedication many artists have towards the very fragmentary skeletals, instead of dismissing them for their limited diagnostic value

Indeed. I pretty much started that trend because I was sick of not having any good images for the more obscure giants: paleo-king.deviantart.com/art/… though of course there have been improvements: paleo-king.deviantart.com/art/…

Very nice skeletal Yty. I didn't realize the two specimens are so far apart in size (though now I suspect the bigger one may even be a bit conservatively sized/proportioned).

That could be true. It's so incomplete there's really no way of knowing.
I followed the estimate made in the paper. The smaller individual has an estimated femur length of 1283mm, while the larger one as 2166mm.
