Skeletal reconstructions of Macrauchenia patachonica. A Burmeister’s (1864−1869a) reconstruction. B Mounted skeleton (based on casts of MLP 12-14244) in the MACN exhibition ca. 1940. C Mounted skeleton (MLP 12-14244) in the MLP exhibition 2022. D Mounted skeleton (based on casts of MLP 12-14244) in the MACN exhibition 2020. E Mounted skeleton (AMNH 14489) in the AMNH exhibition 2019. F Mounted skeleton (ROMVP00410, based on casts of MLP 12-14244) in the ROM exhibition 2022. Note in A that the atlas fits the shape of the bovid atlas of Burmeister (1864–1869a, 1864), although it was represented much smaller than its real size. AMNH 14489 in c presents Burmeister’s (1864–1869a, 1864) atlas, which suggests that other elements could be casts of MACN material.
