Dreadnoughtus — size comparison — facts and sources

Dreadnoughtus was a huge titanosaur of Late Cretaceous Patagonia. It had a long neck, substantial body and four supporting limbs. It ate plants.

The 2014 description highlighted exceptional postcranial-skeleton completeness. The skull is still missing, but body and limb bones permit detailed anatomical study. Mass estimates remain divergent because they depend partly on how muscles and other tissues are reconstructed.
