Correct skull?

edit

It seems like two very different restorations have made of the skull, based on the images here? Which is more correct? FunkMonk (talk) 01:50, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

That's a good question. As far I know, even the most complete skeleton of Epachthosaurus lacks of any cranial material, I don't know about the affinities of this animal to say which of the skulls could be more likely in light of their relationships...--Rextron (talk) 08:32, 17 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Since our cladogram shows it close to nemegtosaurs, I'd guess the long skull showed in the taxobox would be most correct? FunkMonk (talk) 12:48, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Possibly, although it may be more basal than that. Honestly, we can move the third image, which the darkened skull into the taxon box, since it shows more anatomy, and the unknown skull isn't the primary focus. IJReid discuss 15:39, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, there are actually more photos of that mount on Commons that show the head even more obscured and with a tighter crop, maybe better. FunkMonk (talk) 18:50, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
