Dinosaur size
There were larger dinosaurs, but knowledge of them is based entirely on a small number of fragmentary fossils. Most of the largest herbivorous specimens on record were discovered in the 1970s or later, and include the massive titanosaur "Argentinosaurus huinculensis", which is the largest dinosaur known from uncontroversial evidence, estimated to have been and long. Some of the longest sauropods were those with exceptionally long, whip-like tails, such as the "Diplodocus hallorum" (formerly "Seismosaurus") and the 33- to 35-metre-long (108–115 ft) "Supersaurus". The tallest was the "Brachiosaurus".
Spinosauridae
Spinosauridae (meaning "spined lizards") is a family of megalosauroidean theropod dinosaurs. The genus "Spinosaurus", from which the family, subfamily, and tribe borrow their names, is the largest terrestrial predator known from the fossil record, and likely reached lengths of 15 m (49 ft) or more. Most spinosaurids lived during the Cretaceous Period, with possible origins in the Late Jurassic, and fossils of them have been recovered worldwide, including in Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia, although none have been formally named from the latter continent.
