Description: Skeletal reconstruction of the holotype of the rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur Itapeuasaurus cajapioensis. Further material is known, but it has not been figured or described in the literature. Unknown regions were based primarily on Demandasaurus and Nigersaurus. The scale bar represents 1 m (3.3 ft).
