🦴 Known fossil material
Maraapunisaurus is known from only part of its skeleton. This diagram shows which parts of the body have been found.
Parts found as fossils
- Back vertebrae
Known from a single incomplete back vertebra, lost since the 19th century; only its drawing and description survive.
Note: this genus, or which bones belong to it, is still debated.
Coloured areas are parts of the skeleton with fossil bones found so far (sometimes just one bone in that area); faint areas have not been found. The outline is a general shape for its group, not this dinosaur's real body.

There is no write-up for this dinosaur yet, but the scientific data below is complete.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Maraapunisaurus (Morrison), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.
Allosaurus
Camarasaurus
Stegosaurus
Apatosaurus
Diplodocus
Camptosaurus
Nanosaurus
Dryosaurus
Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
