Summary edit

Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate dinosaur restoration.

Reason: Head is based on material now assigned to Brachiosaurus sp.[1], splayed toes with too many claws. Too few anterior caudals.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of WikiProject Dinosaurs on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
