When the fossil bones of Jobaria were separated from surrounding rock and the missing pieces were sculpted, it was finally time to make a detailed blueprint for building the skeleton.

In this picture, Jobaria's tail bones (caudal vertebrae) have been laid out in their correct order so the team could study how the tail bones would look when they were strung together. The team was able to begin to develop a picture of the size and shape of Jobaria's muscles.

How did Jobaria move around? How much could Jobaria move it's neck and it's tail? Finding the answers to these questions requires careful study of Jobaria's bones as they come together to form Jobaria's skeleton.
