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".
Puertasaurus
Due to a lack of better material, the size of "Puertasaurus" is difficult to estimate. Novas estimated the new species was approximately long and weighing between . This would place it as one of the largest dinosaurs, only rivaled in size by its relative "Argentinosaurus", which has been estimated at up to in length and in mass. The discovery of the more complete "Futalognkosaurus" revealed these previous estimates were likely too high. In 2012, Thomas Holtz estimated "Puertasaurus" to have been potentially long. In 2013, the entire neck was estimated to have been approximately long by Mike Taylor and Matt Wedel. Later the same year, Scott Hartman made a reconstruction that suggests a total length of , slightly shorter than other estimates. In 2016, Gregory S. Paul estimated a length of and a weight of at least . In 2017, paleontologist José Carballido and his colleagues estimated its mass at roughly , which was lighter than "Patagotitan", a more complete giant sauropod.
