The largest of non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs as well as the largest Jurassic pterosaur [16] was Dearc, with an estimated wingspan between 2.2 m (7 ft 3 in) and 3.8 m (12 ft). [17] Only a fragmentary rhamphorhynchid specimen from Germany could be larger (184 % the size of the biggest Rhamphorhynchus ). [ 18 ]

The whole building from top to bottom is a single instrument. Like an iceberg, only a part of the telescope's bulk is visible above ground. More than half the entire building is underground – the tower extends 136 feet (41 m) feet above ground, while the lowest excavated point (the bottom of the sump) is 228 feet (69 m) below ground.
Monks Mound is the largest Pre-Columbian earthwork in the Americas and the largest pyramid north of Mesoamerica.The beginning of its construction dates from 900 to 955 CE. Located at the Cahokia Mounds UNESCO World Heritage Site near Collinsville, Illinois, the mound size was calculated in 1988 as about 100 feet (30 m) high, 955 feet (291 m) long including the access ramp at the southern end ...
Tremolite from the Aure Valley, French Pyrenees (size: 8.2 × 6.7 cm) Crystalline tremolite Tremolite is an indicator of metamorphic grade since at high temperatures it converts to diopside . Tremolite occurs as a result of contact metamorphism of calcium and magnesium rich siliceous sedimentary rocks and in greenschist facies metamorphic rocks ...
Amargasaurus (/ ə ˌ m ɑːr ɡ ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s /; "La Amarga lizard") is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous epoch (129.4–122.46 mya) of what is now Argentina.The only known skeleton was discovered in 1984 and is virtually complete, including a fragmentary skull, making Amargasaurus one of the best-known sauropods of its epoch.
No. 7/0, the largest size, is 0.50 in. (500 thou or 12.7 mm) dia., No. 1 is 0.30 in. (300 thou), and the smallest, No. 50, is 0.001 in. (1 thou or 25.4 µm). The system as a whole approximates an exponential curve, plotting diameter against gauge-number (each size is a approximately a constant multiple of the previous size). The weight per unit ...
