Description
You don't get to see a new titanosaur skull every day. These animals are extremely obscure in terms of their facial anatomy and every little piece of skull bone has a huge scientific value.In the case of Sarmientosaurus the patagonian paleontologists were extremely lucky, they discovered a complete skull and a few cervical vertebra.
When working on skull-less titanosaurs we have now another reference to look at
This speculative reconstruction is based on the preserved skull but also taxa which are closely related to Sarmientosaurus, for example Malawisaurus and Tapuiasaurus.
The man standing next to this 12 m long beast is a Tehuelche, a member of a indigenous tribe which once roamed all Patagonia and is now
nearly exclusively found in the province Chubut, where Sarmientosaurus was uncovered.
See more here, I made also a quick portrait:

Amazing colours and pattern!
I had no Idea Sarmiento had its own dino now. Love the Tehuelche btw!

Um are they sure it's 12 meters in length? From research on it today comparing to Tyrannosaurus and that of Saltasaurus and Allosaurus, I'd say it be a least 20-30ft long.

20-30ft would be even less... But it was indeed one meter too short. Changed that.

So were saying it was 11 meters?

It's now 12 m long. Updated the pic, decreased the size of the human.

I don't get it's still quite small if you ask me. The Paleontologists said the skull measured 43 centimeters now in meters that is exactly as it 0.43m. What I've converted is that Allosaurus has a head of 0.84 meters long; that is 4 times longer than Sarmientosaurus' skull. Allosaurus was estimated to be 26ft in length so unless it's because it is a Sauropod then something seems off.

0.84 is roughly two times more...
I don't know if you use the metric system on a regular basis but the skull on this drawing is even a little longer than 43 cm.

I say that because of tradional math numerials. You know 4+4=8;2Γ4=8? You know that stragety
Oh it is? Well normally I don't use the metric system much, but during that study I had thought of the conclusion that any dinosaur with a skull length of 40-80 cm is roughly around 20-30ft in length. But wasn't aware the skull is a bit longer...if that possibly the case with Sarmientosaurus then the skull would be at least a 1 meter (or so) long like T.Rex's.

watch out, stone age men didn't live with dinsuras.

Thanks you for this information

I just realized that two days ago, it's now a meter longer (before it was just 11 m)
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean like, bigger than a blue whale
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, just 12 m. This isn't the new still unnamed titanosaur which skeleton stands now in NY
π: 0 β©: 2
So, the new NY Titanosaur does not have a name? (I'm hoping to visit the museum one day!)

Not yet, the description of this giant could take a while.
π: 0 β©: 1
Huh, interesting, just one would think that an animal that large would get a name.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Every species gets it's name with it's scientific description, otherwise it would be invalid.

Looks so cool, great anatomy and colour scheme!

Nice pattern and what a face. Like the addition of the native too.

Wasn't RapetosaurusΒ found with much of the skull as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, there are a few other titanosaur skulls, but still very few.

JA! Ich habe darauf gewartet, dieser Kerl auf deviantart zu bekommen. Herausragende Arbeit! Sehen Sie, was ich da tat ?

Love the colour scheme
Does this mean I scaled my restoration up too much?elithedinoguy.deviantart.com/aβ¦
