Shantungosaurus giganteus is a Ornithopod who lived during the Late Cretaceous where today are the Shandong Peninsula, China. And 'one of the greatest representatives of his family, with known specimens 16.6 meters long and weighing more than 16 tons. It was described in 1973 by Hu. His tail had to be very long, probably used to balance the weight. ![]() Magnapaulia laticaudus is a Ornithopod lived during the Late Cretaceous, between 76 and 73 million years ago, in California and Mexico. Once considered a congenerico of Lambeosaurus, now you know that it was instead a genre in its own right. was originally described with a length of between 15 and 16.5 meters and a weight of 25 tons, although it was later reduced to 12.5 meters and 16 tonnes. However, it remains one of the largest known Ornithopods. Hypsisbemia missouriensis is a Ornithopod lived during the Late Cretaceous in Missouri. It was one of the greatest representatives of his family, perhaps by measuring up to 15 meters in length, although current estimates are lower, and 3 meters high. It was originally described as a small Sauropoda, and was originally named Neosaurus. Who was the king? Edited by Teratophoneus, May 6 2013, 05:31 AM.

Ignoring the size, maybe I could vote for Iguanodon, for its unique hand, or Parasaurolophus, for its beautiful crest which was also loudening its roar. |

After all, T. rex is called the king of theropods, but wasn't the largest. |

I'm aware of this. I was replying to this line made by kaizergoji: " Magnapaulia might actually have been heavier." |

This doesn't make Magnapaulia the king, as we aren't talking only about sizes. |
