A skeletal reconstruction is an artistic and scientific reconstruction of how the skeleton of an extinct vertebrate animal might have looked, based on available fossil evidence. A good skeletal reconstruction will carefully preserve the correct relative proportions of those bones whose dimensions are known. One common convention is to show the bones in white, surrounded by the hypothetical outline of the animal's soft tissue in black.
