Titanosauria have the largest range of body size of any sauropod clade, and includes both the largest known sauropods and some of the smallest. [25] One of the largest titanosaurs, Patagotitan , had a body mass estimated to be 69 tonnes (76 tons), whereas one of the smallest, Magyarosaurus , had a body mass of approximately 900 kilograms (2,000 ...
"Titanosaurus" colberti - This species was the most well-known species of Titanosaurus, but has been moved into its own genus, Isisaurus. [15] [16] "Titanosaurus" australis - Known from relatively complete remains, but has been renamed Neuquensaurus. [15] "Titanosaurus" nanus - A small species found to be non diagnostic, and hence a nomen ...
Dreadnoughtus is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur containing a single species, Dreadnoughtus schrani. D. schrani is known from two partial skeletons discovered in Upper Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian; approximately 76–70 Ma) rocks of the Cerro Fortaleza Formation in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
More recent and reliable estimates in 2023 have rescaled Bruhathkayosaurus to weigh around 110–130 t (120–140 short tons) with its most liberal estimate being 240 t (260 short tons), making it incredibly massive for such an animal. [17] If the upper unlikely size estimates were to be taken at face value, Bruhathkayosaurus would not only be ...
Argentinosaurus (meaning "lizard from Argentina") 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 tons).
Given the size of these bones, which surpass any of the previously known giant animals, the new dinosaur is the largest animal known that walked on Earth. In 2014 news reports provided estimates of Patagotitan 's size at 40 m (131 ft) long with a weight of 77 tonnes (85 short tons).

Scott Hartman estimates Alamosaurus, based on a huge incomplete tibia that probably refers to it, being slightly shorter at 28–30 m (92–98 ft) and equal in weight to other massive titanosaurs, such as Argentinosaurus and Puertasaurus, [10] though he states that scientists do not know whether the massive tibia belongs to an Alamosaurus or a ...
