It is 9in incomplete, so would added about three inches to the full 
tail, then we'd get 11 to 12 inches (babies might have had shorter tails 
relative to size than adults) or 13 at the max. That makes .34m or 
roughly 335 mm.

<How do we pronounce its name?>

The Italian way: sh*p-pee-ah-nix saam-nee-tih-kus
                 *= cross between "ih" and "ee"
                    say aa as in "Sam" or "Spam"
The Latin way: skee-pih-ahn-ix sahm-nee-tih-kus
           or: skih-pee-ahn-ix         "

Someone may correct me on these facts.
