<< Are you new on the list? I was just wondering because I don't remember
 seeing you on the list before. About Argentinosaurus. The overall length
 of Argentinosaurus is estimated to be about 110 feet, with a neck about
 30 feet long. The weight of the animal is estimated to be about 100-120
 tons, and the overall height is estimated at around 60 feet. It is
 almost definetly a brachiosaur. >>

These figures are probably overestimates, especially weight and height. 
Argentinosaurus is certainly not a brachiosaur; original classification in 
family Andesauridae is not presently in dispute.
