The fragmentary remains were originally described as a theropod, but it was later determined to be a titanosaurian sauropod.
Since then, somewhat larger size estimates have been made, placing Maraapunisaurus at 70 [3] ―120 [4] tons in mass and 35–40 metres (115–131 ft) long, which still makes Maraapunisaurus the third longest animal to have ever lived behind Bruhathkayosaurus and - if one were to count extremely abnormal Barosaurus specimens - BYU 9024, as well ...

This is an incomplete list that briefly describes vertebrates that were extant during the Maastrichtian, a stage of the Late Cretaceous Period which extended from 72.1 to 66 million years before present. This was the last time period in which non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs existed.
Argentinosaurus is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina. Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 m (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 t (72–88 short ...
The main contender for the largest sauropod and the longest known vertebrate is Bruhathkayosaurus matleyi known from now disentereated remains which was upto 40 m (130 ft) in length and 110–130 t (240,000–290,000 lb) in weight. [139] With paleontologist Michael Benton, giving Bruhathkayosaurus a length of 45 metres (148 ft). [140]
1877. Lameta Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) India. Although only known from a few bones, this genus is the namesake of the Titanosauria and the Titanosauriformes. Vahiny. 2014. Maevarano Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) Madagascar. May have been a rare component of its habitat due to the paucity of its remains.
