Turiasaurus is considered the largest dinosaur from Europe, [431] [432] with an estimated length of 30 m (98 ft) and a weight of 50 t (55 short tons). [426] [432] However, lower estimates at 21 m (69 ft) and 30 t (66,000 lb) would make it smaller than the Portuguese Lusotitan, which reached 24 m (79 ft) in length and 34 t (75,000 lb) in weight.
Most of the largest herbivorous specimens on record were discovered in the 1970s or later, and include the massive titanosaur Argentinosaurus huinculensis, which is the largest dinosaur known from uncontroversial and relatively substantial evidence, estimated to have been 70–80 t (77–88 short tons) and 36 m (118 ft) long.
The remains of one of Europe’s largest ever land-based predator dinosaurs have been discovered in the United Kingdom, scientists said Thursday.
Measuring about 10 metres long, it is one of the largest known land-based carnivores ever to have roamed the Earth – comparable in size to the slightly younger Tyrannosaurus rex from North America.
Remains of Europe's largest-ever land-based dinosaur have been discovered on the Isle of Wight in England, University of Southampton scientists say.
The largest species was Tyrannosaurus rex, the most massive known terrestrial predator, which measured over 13 metres (43 ft) in length [2] and according to most modern estimates up to 8.87 metric tons (9.78 short tons) in weight. [3] [4] Tyrannosaurids were bipedal carnivores with massive skulls filled with large teeth. Despite their large ...
The researchers noted that the puncture mark does not match the shape of the teeth of dinosaur predators in this region at the time, such as the Tyrannosaurus relatives Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus.
