Yeah, I heard about this. So is this dethroning Amphy? I'd assume it is. |

Amphicoelias fragillimus is based on a described vertebra and leg bone that "mysteriously" disappeared, and is inferred to be at least 180 feet long, possibly more. This Sauropod would only be about 130. |

So this is more trustworthy than Amphy. Yeah, I can roll with that. This is cool. I was hoping the new biggest dinosaur would be bigger than Amphy, but if there's no proof of Amphy, this will do nicely. |

Saying there's no proof of Amphi is taking it a bit far. It's remains have been destroyed, but so where the remains of the Spinosaurus holotype. Sure we have photos of the latter, but we have a highly detailed description of the other. Anyway, scaling from Diplodocus, Aphy would've exceeded 200 feet no problem, and probably be at least twice as heavy as good ol' Argentinosaurus. So yeah, this new dinosaur probably didn't exceed A.fragillimus in size. Heck. Even if you scale Amphy using sauropods from families it probably didn't belong to, it still comes out being like 80 tons, still higher then the new guy. |

This is certainly a fascinating discovery. Even if it may not be "the big one", I'm happy at least some information has been garnered on this subject. Any light we can shed on the matter of large sauropods is a blessing, considering how the debate of who is the largest is quite a hot topic |

Sauropod fanboys = Best fanboys. I'm glad that remains this complete have been found. Hopefully we'll be able to get a better picture of what Sauropods this size were like after this. I've always found it to be slightly annoying, having such incomplete remains of so many large Sauropods. |
