Description
Tyrannotitan,

Sorry this isn't a properly rendered picture, but I have a lot of degree work to do (like a 6000-word dissertation and putting 'meaning' and/or 'purpose' into my final degree film)

This image is more to give an idea of size. It is based on the skeletal reconstruction in the paper describing the animal. Tyrannotitan is known from some of the dorsal vertebra, possibly two cervical vertebrae, one caudal, part of the shoulder blade, fragments of the hip, femur, fibula and a few other bits.

There were two Tyrannotitan specimens described. The larger one is estimated to have a femur measuring 1.40 m, and this image is scaled to that. As with most giant theropod dinosaurs, early internet rumours suggest sizes between 13-15 m long. If the skeletal in the paper is correct, it suggests the largest known specimen might have been around 11 m long (my rough estimate, the paper didn't give one). That said, the tail is only known from one vertebra, so the exact total length isn't known.

The skull is a big guess based loosely on other relatives. It's only known from the dentary and the Jugal bone.

Edit 2022: I should probably point out that there are better reconstructions available for Tyrannotitan now.

Here is a skeletal by Jadl1

And Here is a skeletal by Franoys

Both these artists estimate around 11.8 m in length, so I wasn't far off!
