Summary

Description
English: A diagram showing the comparitive size of three different Alamosaurus specimens, BIBE 45854, USNM 15560 and TMM 43621-1 compared to a human.




Alamosaurus is known from multiple incomplete individuals. Cross scaling these incomplete specimens is required to get an idea of the species' body proportions. Therefore, there is some uncertainty in the silhouettes shown here.[1] In 2011 and 2016, larger fragmentary titanosaur remains have been referred to Alamosaurus, including a large articulated series of neck bones. These remains suggest that Alamosaurus could reach sizes comparable to Argentinosaurus and Puertasaurus.[2][3]
Alamosaurus silhouette modified from skeletal reconstructions by Scott Hartman, used with permission.[1] The size of TMM 43621-1 is based on Lehman & Coulson 2002[4] and the sizes of USNM 15560 and BIBE 45854 are from a diagram by Scott Hartman.[1]
• The humans are scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) respectively.
