Beyond the game
The real Barapasaurus
About three hundred bones of at least six individuals are known. That set reveals much of the skeleton of an early sauropod, although the skull and part of the neck are missing.
The amount of material does not mean that all areas are represented. The skull and part of the neck are still missing, although many pieces are known from other places on the body.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
