Description: Skeletal diagram of the Argentine basal rebbachisaurid Comahuesaurus windhauseni. Unknown regions were based on Lavocatisaurus, Limaysaurus, Demandasaurus, Zapalasaurus, and Nigersaurus. Note that Comahuesaurus is based on a bonebed, and not all of the material comes from the same individual. The different bones have been scaled based on related species in an attempt to compensate for this, but the overall proportions should be regarded as tentative. Light gray bones represent knownelements figured in the literature, the not in lateral view. Additional material of this taxon is known, but not figured. The scale bar represents 1 m (3.3 ft).
