Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, updated again as part of my ongoing overhaul project.
Edit: Another overhaul; redrew the skull based on the data published this week ([link]) Also made some other minor changes to the postcrania that I'd been meaning to get around to.
Interesting. The skeleton on exhibit at the NCSM seemed to have unusually short legs in comparison to this. I know the spines were restored too long on the mount, but was that the only mistake?
The ribs are also too vertical, which makes the body ridiculously deep and thus makes the legs look shorter. This is a problem with like 95% of all dinosaur mounts.
Actually I suspect they are related to the large elastic nuchal ligament that runs between neural spines on the presacrals (and I'm guessing for the first dozen or so caudals, with those gaps showing where the topmost limit is).
