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. It is one of the largest ...
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).
Sauroposeidon (/ ˌ s ɔːr oʊ p oʊ ˈ s aɪ d ən / SOR-o-po-SY-dən; meaning "lizard earthquake god", after the Greek god Poseidon [3] [4]) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known from several incomplete specimens including a bone bed and fossilized trackways that have been found in the U.S. states of Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Texas.
The heaviest blue whale on record weighed 190 metric tons (190 long tons; 210 short tons), [12] and the heaviest dinosaur known from reasonably good remains, Argentinosaurus, weighed 80 to 100 metric tons (79 to 98 long tons; 88 to 110 short tons), although if the size estimates can be validated, it could still be lighter than Bruhathkayosaurus ...
The femur of specimen EMF164 has a length of 2.146 metres (7.04 ft), similar in size to the femora of Futalognkosaurus and Dreadnoughtus, though smaller than those of Patagotitan. The describing authors deliberately abstained from providing a size estimate, as it is notoriously difficult to obtain reliable results for sauropods.
Patagotitan is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Cerro Barcino Formation in Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina.The genus contains a single species known from at least six young adult individuals, Patagotitan mayorum, which was first announced in 2014 and then named in 2017 by José Carballido and colleagues.
