Huge vertebrae were enough to announce a giant in Gansu.
Huge vertebrae were enough to announce a giant in Gansu. Its enormous neck bones suggest a large sauropod. It stood on four legs and had a small head and long tail, but a complete reconstruction requires estimates for parts not yet found.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Daxiatitan
Its fossils come from Gansu, China. The material includes vertebrae, a shoulder bone and a thigh bone, enough to recognize a distinct dinosaur even though the skeleton is far from complete.
Spectacular length estimates need careful reading. A huge neck is important evidence, but calculating total length requires proportions borrowed from relatives. Different comparisons can produce different results.
