It's an overlooked giant mammal, but it seems just as big as the other "largest terrestrial mammals". Thank you...It is the third largest land mammal...after one of the big species of mammoth...whether Songhua Mammoth exists or not..there should be some other still to be explored and the Indricotherium..

It doesn't seem that there was a mammoth species with an average height over 4m, M. trogontherii, M. meridionalis and M. "imperator"/columbi were, at least the males, close to that, largest specimens might of been ~4.5 and in fact, the largest remains we have is an M. trogontherii estimated to be just that big. so... paraceratherium first, mammuthus/deinotherium second, brolyeuphyfusion, were there really 9-12m stegosaurus?

That's what I asked in the Shunosaurus vs Stegosaurus thread, because the claim is written all over the net, but it's never substantiated. Quote: Is the ”12 metre Stegosaurus’” really valid? AFAIK the adult S. stenops was around 6-7 metres long. Many exhibited examples are smaller still. I only have Wikipedia as source about their size: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegosaurus Wikipedia is extremely inconsistent about this. In the "Description" part they say 12 metres for S. armatus, and that the Stegosaurus’ were I know just about nothing about stegosaurs, but I tried to find info about a "12 metre S. Armatus" and I couldn't find anything. My immediate impression is that S. armatus was up to 9 metres, and the S. stenops species was up to 7 metres - or that what the only referenced claim about there size says in the Wiki article.

I included it because it is a possibility considering that the number of specimens discovered pales in comparison to the total Stegosaurus population(which is an unknown but large number)

Carnivore Posts: 2,521 Group: Members Member #365 Joined: Jun 9, 2012	I was diggin a bit and found that the largest known femur is 1.33m, using the skeletal reconstruction from Greg Paul it got to ~7m, with this in mind and that a 9m individual would be twice the weight, it looks more like 9m is a more realistic hypothetical maximum size, not by any means average, it might even be too big, considering the ~7m is already a large individual.

I included it because it is a possibility considering that the number of specimens discovered pales in comparison to the total Stegosaurus population(which is an unknown but large number) But I talk about the general claim you see everywhere, that the stegosaurus could reach 12 m. Just look at the Wikipedia page where the claim is repeated, even though there's some inconsistency on the page. mikeBRZ I've was diggin a bit and found that the largest known femur is 1.33m, using the skeletal reconstruction from Greg Paul it got to ~7m, with this in mind and that a 9m individual would be twice the weight, it looks more like 9m is a more realistic hypothetical maximum size, not by any means average, it might even be too big, considering the ~7m is already a large individual. Seems like the 12 m size claim is an exaggeration. Quite a big one too... Edited by JaM, Jul 10 2012, 03:26 AM.

Carnivore Posts: 2,590 Group: Members Member #44 Joined: Jan 12, 2012	But there is no evidence that Saurosuchus reached 9m or 8m, 6.5m-6.8m would probably be the maximum size.

Carnivore Posts: 2,521 Group: Members Member #365 Joined: Jun 9, 2012	Ceratosaurus maximum known size is ~7m, with undescribed remains possibly of an individual ~7.4m long. Yours looks too big.
