Description
This is Daxiatitan version 2.0, reconstructed as a basal titanosaur, based on Mannion and Upchurch's new study.
This piece is also the first one of a series of Chinese sauropod skeletals I am planning on making.

Honestly I don't know. They would have to take exam bone cross sections to determine the growth stage of this specimen.
It also depends on how long its neck is. If it's closely related to Euhelopus it would have a neck longer than here and the animal could be a couple of meters longer than depicted here.
The scapulacoracoid does seem to be fused so I don't see it growing to reach 30 meters.

Can I ask if you consider the neural spine of the dorsal vertebrae complete or you think they are eroded?
