Mick Washington, late 1990's

Australian Age of Dinosaurs (AAOD)

Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum, Winton, Queensland

Fossil material:

The left humerus (upper arm bone), several large cervical (neck) vertebrae, ten assorted caudal (tail) vertebrae and a fragmented pubis (lower front part of the pelvis).

Notes:

With a huge neck and small tail, Mick was similar to Brachiosaurus. Mick's remains are unfortunately very fragmented. The exact size of Mick is unclear as yet but he was a very large animal. When his remains were discovered they represented the most comprehensive collection of bones from a single animal of this size in Australia.
