This paleontological restoration is highly hypothetical, as very little fossil material of the animal is known. Use of this image might be controversial.

Please edit this page to supply an explanation, if you are able. This explanation should be added to the template code. For example: {{speculative paleoart|reason=only known from teeth}}. You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia.

A template created to warn users about highly speculative paleoart, as many fossil species are only known from scant fossil remains, reconstructions of said organisms often require the majority of them to be derived from the imagination and/or closely related taxa to fill in the gaps.
