Beyond the game
The real Chubutisaurus
Reconstructions suggest a length of about 18–23 meters. It had a sturdy radius, one of the forearm bones, and was formally described in 1975.
Length estimates do not agree on a single figure because they depend on reconstructing the available material. The sturdy radius, one of the forearm bones, is a feature that can be observed directly.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
