Skeletal diagram of the North American basal dicraeosaurid sauropod dinosaur <i>Suuwassea emilieae</i>. This diagram depicts the type and only known specimen, ANS 21122. Despite its completeness, the taxonomic affinities of <i>Suuwassea</i> have been uncertain. It currently is classified as a dicraeosaurid. The anatomy of <i>Suuwassea</i> has been thoroughly described in the literature, with only a few bones not being illustrated in the necessary views for this diagram. The unknown regions have been based on <i>Lingwulong</i>, <i>Bajadasaurus</i>, and <i>Dicraeosaurus</i>.
