Sauroposeidon Tallest Dinosaur

This is a new drawing of the giant Sauroposeidon.  It is pictured with a huge Pterosaur called Ornithocheirus.  At first you may think that the Pterosaur is drawn too large, until I tell you that Ornithocheirus had a wingspan of 27 feet, 8.2 meters.  This makes it possibly the second biggest Pterosaur ever.   So it is NOT drawn too big.

Sauroposeidon with an Ornithocheirus

The Sauroposeidon was the tallest of all known dinosaurs.  It has been estimated to be between 59 and 69 feet tall.  Most estimates put it at around the 60 foot 18 meters tall.  Some estimates of Sauroposeidon put it at 80 tons, but most put it far smaller.  The known bones of Sauroposeidon are very long and yet very gracile.  Gracile means smaller...or perhaps thinner.  So a more well known Brachiosaur is Brachiosaurus.  If Brachiosaurus had gotten as tall as Sauroposeidon it would have weighed 80 tons, but most paleontologists agree that Sauroposeidon weighed closer to 55-66 tons or 50-60 metric tons.  The first evidence of Sauroposeidon was in rural Okalhoma.  During the early Cretaceous Period much of what is now the midwest was under a shallow sea.  .    .  so, during the late Creataceous Period the Gulf of Mexico started at what is now Oklahoma.

Note:  I switched the picture of Sauroposeidon in my last post with this drawing.   This drawing is more accurate.  Notice the longer front legs.  The first of all known Brachiosaurs, the well known Brachiosaurus, means "armed lizard"...as in it had large front legs or "arms."
