As for length if it is greater, but weight is what determines if one animal is larger than another (in biology and therefore in paleontoogy), since diplodocids, despite being very long, were lighter than other sauropods. Since for example a common Barosurus of 26 meters is estimated to be 20 to 22 tons in weight, while a Brachiosaurus of 26 meters is estimated to be 30 to 50 tons.

If the measurements are true, that would make Barosaurus the longest land animal to ever live.

If the measurements aren't however, then it is going to sit in the gigantic graveyard with Amphiceolias, Sesimosaurus, and others.

Sadly, but at least the investigation was released. And this further supports the idea that this animal existed and has a better record. In addition to knowing the approximate position of the holotype vertebra, its calculations must be more precise.

Yeah and that is where this specimen might end up being smaller than thought where it might end up being proportionately thicker rather than just longer because of the square cube law.

That is, in fact it is what normally happens when discovering fragmentary remains and later finding something more complete. Only a new, more complete discovery will reveal more about these giants.

That Barosaurus has a very long neck. It must be as long as a whole basketball court lol

In fact, the complete specimen, if it had the correct measurements, should measure almost the same as 2 basketball courts, since these measure 29 meters, and the animal is estimated at 48 meters.

Do you believe the amphicoelias (sorry if mispelled) was really 200 ft long or not?

The truth is everything is possible, it is considered an invalid species now because the holotype is missing, which means that a formal study cannot be done (possibly that fossil is destroyed because of the bone war or simply hidden in some warehouse). It is possible that this animal was not as long as a Diplodocus would be, if not rather a flatter but equally large creature (since the estimates were made based on Diplodocus, which is quite long) but even if they are dinosaurs of the The same family may have had a different morphology, for example: Apatosaurus and Diplodocus, even though they are close relatives of Diplodocidae, they have their differences. It is likely that Amphicoelias has been a somewhat flatter animal, 150 to 180 feet long, but anything can happen.

Maybe, but we need to have more parts of the skeleton and then do better proportions of size

One question related to your monsterverse drawings: since the x ray images are most definitely placeholders, what are you gonna do with the Bunyip, Typhon and Fake sekhmet designs? Are you gonna redesign bun and ty cuz I’m starting to think that they aren’t what we were led to believe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Loch Ness monster turns out to be a plesiosaur after all

Barosaurus is probably the only Sauropod Dinosaur that I saw in books as a child but never appeared in any forms of media, Brachiosaurus and Stegosaurus are the best.

A highly underrated dinosaur, at least it has its own montage in the New York museum and many people have seen and known it because of this
