Description: Flesh reconstruction of the head and neck of Heterodontosaurus tucki from the Lower Jurassic Upper Elliot and Clarens formations of South Africa. Flesh head and neck and skull reconstructions with similar gape. The flesh reconstruction was modeled over a skull cast with skin texture based on bone surface details in the skull of Heterodontosaurus tucki (SAM-PK-K1332) and bristles based on those preserved in Tianyulong confuciusi (STMN 26-3).
