Here's a rough top 10 largest sauropods. Amphicoelias, Ultrasauros, and company will be excluded due to fragmentary/lost remains. 10. Camarasaurus- 60-70 ft long and 25-35 tons [img]http://www.search4dinosaurs.com/rm_camarasaurus.jpg[/img] 9. Seismosaurus- 100-165 ft long and 35-45 tons [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/SeismosaurusDB.jpg[/img] 8. Brachiosaurus- 75-85 ft long and 40-50 tons [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/dinosaurs/1/0/T/C/-/-/brachiosaurusWC2.jpg[/img] 7. Supersaurus- 100-145 ft long and 45-55 tons [img]http://www.anthrosaurs.com/S/Supersaurus.jpg[/img] 6. Paralititan- 75-85 ft long and 50-60 tons [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/42/Paralititan1DB.jpg[/img] 5. Sauroposeidon- 80-90 ft long and 60-70 tons [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Sauroposeidon_protheles_1.jpg[/img] 4. Puertosaurus- 85-95 ft long and 70-80 tons [img]http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/07/puertasaurus-reuili-dinosaur/images/primary/art-461.jpg[/img] Now, for the top 3... 3. Ruyangosaurus- 90-105 ft long and 85-95 tons [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/112/5/9/ruyangosaurus_giganteus_by_teratophoneus-d4x6sea.jpg[/img] 2. Alamosaurus- 100-115 ft long and 90-100 tons [img]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/253/1/9/alamosaurus_sanjuanensis_by_teratophoneus-d5e7ezs.jpg[/img] 1. Argentinosaurus- 100-120 ft long and 105-120 tons [img]http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/a/argentinosaurus-size.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.montana.edu/cpa/news/images/articles/20111206-14568843331144401897.jpg[/img] Sizes and positions are subject to change pending further finds, but like I said, this is a ROUGH top 10. Size estimates are based on my own and other estimates. PS- If you're wondering why Camarasaurus is on there, well, I had to start somewhere ;)

Well, I have to say I agree with this list, althought the first three are arguable, but by a bit, so... nice list!

Thanks. Like I said, it's debatable. What's your top 10?

Well, I think the Diplodocus, Antarctosaurus and Futalogknosaurus should have maked through this list, and also, the Alamosaurus should be first. But these are just my thoughts.

I put Diplodocus at about 80-100 ft long, but only 10-20 tons in weight. As far as Antarctosaurus goes, it's comparable to Puertosaurus or Sauroposeidon. Futalognkosaurus is about the same size as Ruyangosaurus. Like I said, the general positions on the list are debatable. I could only have so many on it after all ;)

Good list. It's pretty accurate for a rough list.

Thanks. PS- Forgot to mention, position on the list is based on weight, not length.

Cool. I just wanted to make sure everyone else knew, just to be safe ;)

That happens. I just automatically think that they are in weight

pretty nice list but i would put puertasaurus first because it the widest dinosaur of all time being 8 m from side to side which would put it at (my estimation) 130-132 tons

Yeah, by the way, for being a rough list it's just awesome. With so many big suropods I can imagine it's not so simple incuding everyone's favourite :).

My list would be mostly these, with Amphicoelias fragillimus at the top. Argentinosaurus would be behind Puertasaurus on mine, since, well, Puertasaurus is undeniably bigger. Alamosaurus would be my honorable mention. [url=http://paleoking.blogspot.com/2011/11/15-biggest-dinosaurs-youve-never-heard.html?m=1]Your text to link here...[/url]

All the positions are debatable. Like I said, I left Amphicoelias out since it's so elusive.

I'm agree with you, but Puertasaurus was likely larger than Argy.
