English: Skeletal diagram of the North American basal dicraeosaurid sauropod dinosaur Suuwassea emilieae. This diagram depicts the type and only known specimen, ANS 21122. Despite its completeness, the taxonomic affinities of Suuwassea have been uncertain. It currently is classified as a dicraeosaurid. The anatomy of Suuwassea has been thoroughly described in the literature, with only a few bones not being illustrated in the necessary views for this diagram. The unknown regions have been based on Lingwulong, Bajadasaurus, and Dicraeosaurus.
