Beyond the game
The real Wintonotitan
The first bones were found in Queensland in 1974, long before the animal received its name in 2009. The studied remains include vertebrae and limb bones, but no complete skull.
The name recalls Winton, the Australian area where the fossils were found. Related dinosaurs help artists fill in the missing parts, so a complete illustration combines direct evidence from bones with informed reconstruction.
