Today's dinosaur:

Agustinia

Wow! Look at that one! Look at those spikes all up and down its back and neck and tail and stuff. And those markings are pretty cool. This is a really neat one, I like it.

From all the fossil remains paleontologists get, how does agustinia look? I want to put this sauropode for my website (Extinction), but its still not clear if he got spikes or not; because some scientist believe this animal doensn't got these 'side spikes'

It seems Agustinia probably wasn’t as spiky as it’s often depicted. The fragments that were originally interpreted as spikes were re-examined a few years ago, and seem to actually be broken pieces of rib and hip bones.

Its probably safer to go with a non-spiky version, although its remains are so fragmentary we can’t rule out spiky armor entirely -- it would just be arranged more like what’s known in other titanosaurs.

Note: those plates are wrong, but there’s no art of it correct... 

Name: Agustinia ligabuei

Name Meaning: Named for Agustin Martinelli

First Described: 1999

Described By: Bonaparte

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda, Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Macronaria, Titanosauriformes, Somphospondyli

Agustinia was a sauropod from the Lohan Cura Formation of Neuquen Province, Argentina, living between the Aptian and Albian ages of the Early Cretacous, betwen 116 and 100 million years ago. It is known from very fragmentary and partial remains, and it would have only ben about 15 meters long. Though it was originally thought to have armor plates in the form of spikes and plates down its back like Stegosaurus, a dinosaur it could not be less closely related to, it was later foundn that these plates were more likely to be fragments of hip and rib bones. Alas, there is no art of it without these plates, and there’s nothing I can do but show you an innacurate art piece.

Favorite sauropod Agustinia! The sauropod that looks like the crossbreed between a diplodocus and a stegosaurid. It isnt easy to fascinate me when you are a sauropod, though.  They are not my favorite dinosaurs.

30 Day Dinosaur Challenge Day 2: Favorite Sauropod

I probably would've picked Amargasaurus (like a few others), or possibly Brachytrachelopan, but since I've already drawn both in some way, shape or form, I settled on one genus I've never really drawn before: Agustinia.

This is a diplodocoid-esque reconstruction (based off of a modified Amargasaurus skeletal) rather than a titanosaur-esque one, but like all other Agustinia drawings, it's pretty speculative, since we don't have a ton of material.
