(A) Skeletal reconstruction in left lateral view, with preserved bones in gray and bones represented in other Anzu specimens in white (hatching indicates heavily reconstructed portions of the ilia of CM 78001). Middle-posterior (ninth?) cervical vertebra in (B) anterior, (C) left lateral, and (D) dorsal views. Posterior (11th?) cervical vertebra in (E) anterior, (F) left lateral, and (G) dorsal views. Posterior (12th?) cervical vertebra in (H) anterior, (I) left lateral, and (J) dorsal views. Anteroposteriorly crushed left radius in lateral (K) and anterior (L) views. Mediolaterally crushed left ulna in lateral (M) and anterior (N) views. (O) Partial left scapulocoracoid in lateral view. Dorsal rib in anterior (P) and posterior (Q) views. Abbreviations: acr, acromial process; cr, cervical rib; dip, distal processes; pat, pathology; pf, pneumatic fossa. Scale bars = 50 cm in A; 1 cm in B–Q.

Juvenile Gorgosaurus TMP 2009.12.14 preserving stomach contents. Photographs of specimen in (A) right lateral view and (B) left anterolateral view. (C) Interpretive illustration of specimen in right lateral view. Skeleton consists of a nearly complete skull, the left side of the body and limbs, and a nearly complete pelvis. Red rectangle delineates location of stomach contents. (D) Histological photomicrograph of tibia showing the presence of five lines of arrested growths and two annuli (marked by asterisks), indicating that the individual was between 5 and 7 years old. Scale bars, 50 cm (A) to (C) and 1 mm (D).
a Skeletal reconstruction of A. greppini. Elements preserved in the material and therefore providing information for the skeletal reconstruction are marked in blue. Because much information is missing from the incomplete skeletal material, the dorsal vertebrae, the proportions and morphology of the cervical vertebrae and the skull were modified from Camarasaurus. b Scaled silhouette drawings of Cetiosauriscus stewarti (in black) and A. greppini (in grey) demonstrating the significant size difference between the two taxa. Scale bar is 1 m

Lusotitan atalaiensis. Photographs of right humerus (proximal half) in (A) anterior (slightly oblique as a result of mounted position), (B) medial, (C) proximal, (D) lateral, and (E) posterior views. Abbreviations: dtp, deltopectoral crest; hh, humeral head. Scale bar = 200 mm.
Middle cervical vertebra of Vouivria damparisensis (MNHN.F.1934.6 DAM 6). (A) Left lateral view, (B) anterior view, (C) right lateral view; (D) posterior view.
