Today's Washington Post provided a length of 2.4 m for the new titanosaur.
2.4 m? Wouldn't that make it a teenysaur? Sorry, could not resist.
That is about the same as projected for Argentinosaurus and I think Futalognkosaurus (never have been quite sure about the measurements for that thing). As I noted in the Field Guide, the masses for these big titanosaurs has tended to be overestimated, and they are in your 50 or so tonne range. Not that much heavier than brachiosaurs. Mamenchisaurs might have gotten bigger. GSPaul </HTML>
