Existe um meme de Ceratosaurus gigante na internet, mas nenhum fóssil que suporte isso que eu saiba (o maior C.dentisulcatus é BYUVP 12893 com 6.9m, com base no tamanho do crânio comparado com UMNH 5278/UMNH 6329).

kkkkk um meme? nem sabia...
Voce conhece algum site ou fonte que mostre o tamanho verdadeiro desses animais? porque na maioria das vezes eles ficam representados bem maiores que a realidade.

Acho que não existe nada universal, a Theropod Database (theropoddatabase.com/Alpha%20L… ) tem medidas dos ossos de muitas espécies, mas o comprimento e peso totais não são muito bons (e como o nome diz, só tem terópodes). Geralmente o que eu faço é abrir um artigo sobre o animal com o sci-hub, pegar medidas e comparar com as de um parente que tem uma reconstrução bem feita, mas aí ainda tem o problema de achar o que é uma reconstrução bem feita...

I do strongly believe he's using Snively's estimation for T.rex.

I think YPM 1853 is smaller than 8.5 meters. More like 7 meters, at least according to this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…

I don't know what that's based on, either on pre-Sophie Stegosaurus skeletals or the YPM mount, which is chimeric according to a 2009 thesis.

No, they're as good as always. I use Franoys's because we often work together on stuff.

It's possible to update without notifying your watchers (or ninja updating, as Franoys calls it).

*Comes back for comments now that it's updated...Austroposeidon...27 m, 33 tons...wow, it weighs virtually nothing!

And this was from convex-hull Patagotitan, so if I am to be consistent it's going to go down to like 30 t xD

Is Austroposeidon about the same size as Futalognkosaurus?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I once thought so, but now it seems Austroposeidon is smaller (I'm not sure, though).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Considerably smaller or just a bit? I guess it was around ~22m long
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe it's about that big as well, but got less than 19m if I remember correctly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I just checked out his Austroposeidon, and it appears to be around 24-25m not under 19m. I think 22m is a good guess so far.

Well damn...anyway I did an article some time back on some gigantic Helicoprion tooth whorls after speaking to Jesse B. Pruitt (one of the authors of the new research, two huge tooth whorls from Idaho) and he gave me an estimate of 10-12 meters for the animal. Included it all in here=www.eartharchives.org/articles… with the specimen designations as well...although you could speak to either Pruitt or Tapanila yourself if you'd like, seeing as I stupidly haven't included the actual research there grr

oh damn, that is huge, and not the first time I've been linked to that source... perhaps I'll remake this thing.

And you doubted the 12 meter estimates.

how long was the humerus of the Saurophaganax on the image?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a bit on the high side (the average estimate is 48.5 cm, I think mine was 49-50)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh alright I'm just happy you didn't go with the 54.5 cm estimate. (it's almost certainly wrong)

That human should follow the example of the other Pleistocene giant and run away.

Nice. What's Austroposeidon supposed to be though? And that's an exceptionally low estimate for BYU Barosaurus. How did you come to these conclusions, may I say?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nobody knows Austroposeidon... :/
It's a Late Cretaceous lithostrotian from Brazil, nested right outside Lognkosaurs phylogenetically, and as for its dimensions, there it is.
Well, for references' sake, I like minimalistic mega-crypto-diplodocids and I cannot lie. I applied sauropod neck allometry to a Barosaurus scaled to 178% larger and divided 15m (the total length estimate for the neck asduming BYU 9024 is a c11) by the result.

Not to say it isn't an interesting critter, it does seem like a creature that wiuld be distinct like that.
Nice Mixalot reference

Well, I'm not aware of anywhere Taylor said the C11 neck was implausible (I've read SV-POW's posts and comments on it, yes, and also the little PowerPoint presentation he did on the bones). Whether it's a mamenchisaur or diplodocid really has no affect on its plausibility, as Barosaurus's neck is already far longer than a Diplodocus or Apatosaurus of the same size (and has more vertebrae too), and since specimens of Barosaurus have to be pretty young if they are barely 50% the individual bone dimensions of adults, there is a lot of growth to be done. Considering that sauropod necks generally grow faster than the rest of their bodies across the whole group, it's isometric scaling that is the most questionable way, not allometry. The minimalism I acknowledge here was taking the C11-based 15m neck instead of the C9-based 17m neck, C9-based neck makes it around 70 tonnes which is comparable in size to giant titanosaurs.
Also, 38 tonnes? This one is 48
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it wasn't that C11 or C8 are implausible, just less likely than a C9 until they can get a better look at the original bones (which is currently proving difficult for them). Admittedly neck allometrically does through things out for Taylor's plain estimates that you've already seen, but it's still very doubtful that this animal, especially as a Diplodocid would be half neck, as among all other sauropods, only Erketu has such a feat, and that is a very different creature. And the last was misreading in my part. Oops. What do you think of some of the other giant candidates so far, if anything has changed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it isn't really half neck, half neck (since I used a 15m neck) would assume the whole thing is 30 meters long, when it's actually 40 in this reconstruction, an Erketu-like neck would be 20 meters.
As for the other candidates, well, I must note there are a bunch of brachiosaurs I hadn't considered before that enter pretty high in the ranking, like the Potter Creek Brachiosaurus, Fusuisaurus etc. which all appear to be rivaling the largest titanosaurs in length and even weight.

Still nothing about Gara Samari tracks which is a shame. Apatosaurus must qualify too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, oddly enough Apatosaurus's place is really hard to decide.
