Skeletal reconstruction of Trachelosaurus fischeri and comparison with other long-necked, aquatic tanysaurians. A Skeletal reconstruction and interpretive silhouette of Trachelosaurus fischeri in left lateral view and anteroposterior view of the mid-anterior portion of the torso (reconstructions by E. M.); based on the elements preserved on MLU.GeoS.1612. B Comparison of Trachelosaurus fischeri with Dinocephalosaurus orientalis (from Spiekman et al., 2024; reconstruction by S. N. F. S.), Tanystropheus hydroides, and Tanystropheus longobardicus (both from Spiekman et al., 2020a; reconstructions by Beat Scheffold); the outline of a 170-cm-tall human in scuba diving equipment is used to indicate the scale
