Mantellisaurus skeletal reconstruction (2024 update)

This is an updated version of the skeletal based on the version I provided to Bonsor et al. (2023) for their redescription of the Mantellisaurus holotype. I was able to access more 3D scan material and descriptive info than I had during the creation of the original drawing, improving the overall accuracy, and also allowing me to provide a more detailed completeness map. This skeletal is based on the holotype (NHMUK R5764), with the grey-shaded missing portions being primarily based on "Dollodon" (IRSNB 1551) following Norman's 1986 description and figures. Dollodon is a vey similarly-sized iguanodontian that either is Mantellisaurus itself, or is closely related.
