Beyond the game
The real Supersaurus
Its remains come from the Morrison Formation, including finds in Colorado and Wyoming. The skeletons are incomplete, so combining information from several specimens is important for reconstructing the animal.
It ranks among the longest known dinosaurs, but exact figures depend on how missing parts are reconstructed. Estimates change with new studies; a reasonable range is more faithful to the evidence than treating one spectacular number as final.
