A little more perspective
In the museum’s specimen interview, researcher Paul Barrett describes the skeleton as just over 5.5 meters long and not yet fully adult. The displayed 5.5-meter value is a rounded comparison reference; it is not an exact survey value, a claimed adult maximum or evidence that the animal was female.
The restoration includes the staggered back plates and four tail spikes, with the tail extended along the length axis. Skin and plate coverings are interpretive. Standing height to the tallest plate would depend on posture and is not supplied by this length reference.
