Re: largest dinosaur




Regarding trackways--somewhere on this list, or maybe elsewhere, I've seen
reports of huge sauropod tracks from Australia that are supposed to be a
couple of meters across. This would represent an animal in the size range of
Amphicoelias fragillimus described above. Anyone know any more about these
tracks?

There are 1.5 metre tracks in the early Cretaceous sandstone near Broome, and "Dan's Dinosaur Reconstructions" (http://home.alphalink.com.au/~dannj/watracks.htm) refers to a pes with a length of 1.7 metres (Broome again). Is that the kind of size range you were thinking of? Its *almost* two metres.
