Supplementary Fig. 9. Digital reconstruction of known skeletal elements of Dreadnoughtus schrani (MPM-PV 1156 and MPM-PV 3546) in left lateral view. In the reconstruction, two left and one right dorsal ribs were mirrored to yield a total of six representative ribs. Moreover, except for the sternal plate, the right pectoral girdle and forelimb were mirrored from the left. The right femur, fibula, and astragalus were also mirrored from the left side, whereas the left metatarsals and pedal ungual were mirrored from the right.

Note: The placement of skeletal elements in this reconstruction is approximate. Taphonomic deformation within the axial skeleton prevented some bones from being property articulated. Thus, error has been introduced into the skeletal proportions represented here. Our most accurate estimates for the skeletal proportions of Dreadnoughtus can be found in the 2D reconstruction (Figure 2), published in Lacovara et al (2014). (See the link below)
