Scaling up Limaysaurus directly, he estimated the length of Maraapunisaurus to be 30.3 metres (99 ft); additionally, he found it to be 7.95 metres (26.1 ft) tall at the hips and the vertebra to be 2.4 metres (7.9 ft). However, he noted that a study from a 2006 book calculated that the neck length of a sauropod scales with the length of the ...
Amphicoelias. Amphicoelias (/ ˌæmfɪˈsiːliəs /, meaning "biconcave", from the Greek ἀμφί, amphi: "on both sides", and κοῖλος, koilos: "hollow, concave") is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that lived approximately 150 million years ago during the Tithonian (Late Jurassic Period) of what is now Colorado, United States.
The neck length of Sauroposeidon is estimated at 11.25–12 m (37–39 ft), compared to a neck length of 9 m (30 ft) for the HM SII Giraffatitan. This is based on the assumption that the rest of the neck has the same proportions as Giraffatitan , which is a reasonably good conjecture.
Another poorly known sauropod that shares similar size estimates to Bruhathkayosaurus is Maraapunisaurus fragillimus, which is based on a now-missing dorsal vertebra. In 2006, Kenneth Carpenter used Diplodocus as a guide and estimated Maraapunisaurus to be 58 m (190 ft) in length and weigh only about 122.4 metric tons (130 short tons). [25]
One large sauropod, Maraapunisaurus fragillimus, ... in length and 2 t (2.2 short tons) in weight. [32] Yunnanosaurus youngi also reached a length of 13 m ...
The thighbone length was determined at 1082 millimeters. The longest spike was 86 centimeters long. Its point was broken and it is estimated the original length of the bone core at 985 millimeters. In 2019, the genus Alcovasaurus was considered a junior synonym of Miragaia [38]
Apatosaurinae (the name deriving from the type genus Apatosaurus, meaning "deceptive lizard") is a subfamily of diplodocid sauropods, an extinct group of large, quadrupedal dinosaurs, the other subfamily in Diplodocidae being Diplodocinae. Apatosaurines are distinguished by their more robust, stocky builds and shorter necks proportionally to ...
Sidersaura was a very large rebbachisaurid. Aside from the controversial giant sauropod Maraapunisaurus which may be a rebbachisaurid, Sidersaura may represent one of the largest known members of this group, at around 18–20 metres (59–66 ft) long and 15 tons in weight.
