Description: Skeletal diagram of the rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur Limaysaurus tessonei. The material in white is from MUCPv-205 (the holotype), that in green is from MUCPv-153, and that in violet is from MUCPv-206. Material that was not figured in lateral view is colored a shade darker to denote its speculative depiction here. Additional material is also known, but inadequately described to allow for its inclusion. Unknown regions were primarily based on Demandasaurus, Nigersaurus, and Comahuesaurus.
