Beyond the game
The real Iguanacolossus
The bones were found in Utah’s Cedar Mountain Formation. The main specimen preserves parts of the skull and body, enough to describe the genus in 2010, but not to reveal every detail.
The length and weight figures often given for it are estimates based on an incomplete skeleton. It helps to distinguish that reconstruction from the bones actually found: both offer information, but not with the same level of certainty.
