Revising the Super-Sauropods

8:54 pm

A photo posted over at NewCritters.com has led me to revise my earlier post comparing the newly-described Puertasaurus reuili with the legendary Amphicoelias fragillimus. Turns out Puertasaurus is a little less massive than I had portrayed it, although I still wouldn’t want to carry one for any distance.

Apologies to all museum visitors for passing on less-than-accurate info—rest assured I’ll be cross-checking future figures before posting them.

  1. Well if Puertasaurus is named after pablo puerta, it goes to show, as pablo puerta is not a tall man.
    However the photo that you have there is Santiago Reuil, he is taller than Pablo.
