Description This is Chubutisaurus, a middle-sized sauropod from South America.

I made this restoration back in 2012. It lacks few bones, like the ribs, these ones were not illustrated in Carballido et al. (2011) paper.

Its limbs are far more elongated than I imagined, I always had the idea that it looked chunky, I guess because of the way the name sounds (to my non-argentinean ears).

In fact it should have been quite gracile sauropod. The appendicular skeleton is pretty slender.

Yeah, it definitely looks like that's the case and the scapula looks very small, leaving the torso very shallow upfront.
