Файл:Rinconsaurus test 2.jpg

A restoration of Rinconsaurus compared to a human ,

• Based proportionally on fossil elements and skeletal reconstruction featured in the Rinconsaurus description,^{[#cite_note-Riga2003Rinconsaurus-1 [1]]} with missing parts based on other titanosaur reconstructions. The remains of Rinconsaurus represent two adults and a juvenile all of which are incomplete; some of the proportions shown here, such as the neck, limb lengths, and skull shape are not certain.

• Osteroderms are not yet known in Rinconsaurus. The osteoderms shown here are based loosely on Mendozasaurus.^{[#cite_note-Riga2003Mendozasaurus-2 [2]]} Osteoderms are known from at least 10 titanosaur genera spread across the family tree but it's not clear if all titanosaurs had them.^{[#cite_note-carranoetal2015-3 [3]]} Titanosaur osteoderms are rare and their layout and position on the body are not certain. ^{[#cite_note-Videletal2015-4 [4]]}

• The colours and patterns, as with the majority of reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.

• Human silhouette approximately 180 cm tall.

NOTE: I often update my images. If you want to have any of my images on a website, please (if possible) don’t host/save it to the website server. I’d prefer it if the image's Wikimedia URL is used. This means that if I update an image, it will be updated on the site as well. Thanks.
