The skin impression showed hexagonal (six-sided) plates that were 9-26 mm across.

Pelorosaurus lived during the early Cretaceous period, Its classification is unsure and the genus status is doubtful; it may have been a Brachiosaurid (related to Brachiosaurus) or a titanosauroid (related to Andesaurus). Pelorosaurus is known from very incomplete skeletons and fossilized skin impressions from the Wealden Formation in England and a from a single forelimb bone found in Fervenca, Portugal.

I drew this image referring to Brachiosaurus.

Sauropoda

Jobaria is described as a primitive camarasaurid-like macronarian with a short neck of 12 cervicals and broad teeth, known from a number of individuals.

Jobaria's skull is built of very fragile bones and has very large openings for the nose and eyes probably it had a keen sense of smell and hearing.

The spoon-shaped teeth aer similar to those of the earliest sauropods. They were well adapted to nipping leaves and branches od trees.The dorsal (back) vertebrae from the juvenile Jobaria have a very simple structure. There are no depressions for air sacs from the lung, and the spine at the top of the vertebra is a simple plate of bone.

　

The ball-and-socket articulation between neck vertebrae allowed the neck to curve side-to-side and up-and-down. Air sacs along the neck lightened the mass of the neck.
