Amazing reconstruction. The only issue is that it's a bit shrink-wrapped, but it still looks amazing. The Chubut Monster may rival this in size too, as it is wider and more robust than the museum mount suggests, not to mention it wasn't fully grown.
Then there's 100+ tonne Barosaurus in town. It's good to be a giant dinosaur fan now.

what does "shrink-wrapped" really is? because from upper view, it is very fat... I'm curious

That isn't fat though, that's the bones having a really wide rib cage. By shrink wrapping I mean that it doesn't have enough soft tissue IMO. It usually involves only giving an animal a skeleton, skin and a tiny bit of muscle. It often doesn't take into account things like fat, cartilage, extra muscles, keratin etc. You can see the entire outline of the skull in these pictures, for example, something you can't see in modern animals. In modern animals, the head and definitely neck is more fleshed out and thick, with the outline of bones less present. Thanks for asking.

Oh, I see. I always found that neck too skinny on the side view. Puertasaurus is a truly impressive animal. When I thought that was fat enough, they were even fatter.Β

Awesome reference sheet
I like how you also included the smallest dinosaur.
π: 0 β©: 0
No, for all we know Argentinosaurus it would be slightly smaller. But, we know so little about these giants, that who knows.

oh, now I understand! scrappy remains and all.

Just a few very specific questions on Puertasaurus, it its fine.
1. How is its whole name, Puertasaurus reuili, pronounced?Β
2. How tall was it, from foot to shoulder?Β How tall was it, from foot to head, when its neck is positioned horizontally like most titanosaur postures?Β How tall was it, from foot to head, when its neck is raised up at its highest?Β
3. Could its neck bend far down to do low browsing? How much could its neck turn from side to side?
Thank you for your time in reading these questions.Β

Amphicoelias is possibly bigger, but since its only remains were lost, we can't be sure.
However, the paleontologist that described it was well respected and reliable. Going by his measurements, A. fragillimus would have been up to 250t!

I would call O. C. Marsh during the Bone Wars anything, but not accurate or reliable. The egos of both Marsh and Cope eclipsed even the most massive of macronarians in size.

it is bigger-like two blue whales put together

Ahahaha, no.
We've got nothing of it now, so we can't accurately reconstruct it.

hey mind your own beeswax!

amphicoelias is up to 100 ft long look it up

Ahahaha, no.
We've got nothing of it now, so we can't accurately reconstruct it.

You mean 8-7 months ago?

Lol at the comparison stuff. A volkswagen and R2-D2... That amused me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Amphicoelias could have been longer, but Diplodocids are, in comparison, much less taller and wider than Titanosaurs, and the weight is debatible

I would love to see you make one of Amphi one day! You could call it "The Longest"

I'll tell you something...
Carpenter made a mistake when he estimated A. fragillimus at 58 meters and 122.4 tonnes.
The mistake is that he assumed that a 26.25-meter, 11.5-tonne Diplodocus carnegii had a 122-cm tall D9 vertebra.
In reality, D. carnegii's D9 was between 90 and 100 cm tall.
A. fragillimus vertebra(a D9 or D10) has been estimated to be about 2.7 meters tall.
That would result in a A. fragillimus being likely 70-80 meters long, and a mass of probably more than 200 tonnes

I guess Argentinasaurus isnt the biggest after all.

Huabeisauridae es sinΓ³nimo de Opisthocoelicaudinae. No caigamos en crear tantas familias, varias serΓas subfamilias mas bien, como Centrosaurinae. lambeosaurinae y saurolophinae.
π: 0 β©: 0
Las familias Janenschidae, Trigonosauridae, Isisauridae y Argentinosauridae donde se han publicado antes? y que gΓ©neros incluye? Los Acrofornica que son?
Muy buen trabajo por cierto.
La tabla creo que noe sta correcta ya que despues de los Laurasiformes, se encontrarΓan los Sauropodos no Somphospondyli... "Janenschidae" y Huanghetitanidae.
Seguido por Chubutisauridae y Euhelopodidae.

La mayorΓa del texto (incluΓdo el recuadro con las familias) fue aportado por Paleo-King [link] poco puedo explicar el criterio de la designaciΓ³n cladΓstica
Con gusto lo cambio, si es que Nima estΓ‘ de acuerdo.

Wow, Awesome ref sheet! I especially love the pattern of the neck

Yep. I feel beave enough to violate copyright.

Super cool, I don't care if a blue is heavier, it would be far more impressive to see a Puertasaurus just walking around!!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh yes. Awesome Infographic. 110 tones? Still less than the Blue Whale, but then again, any claims about that being the biggest animal should be changed to it being the heaviest animal anyways...
π: 0 β©: 1
well, considering its body volume, blue whale IS bigger, although Puertasaurus was longer and much taller
