Re: cf. Giraffatitan tracks reported



 
the 80-tonne [...] Brachiosaurus [...] the 140-tonne ultrasaurus

[...] make it extremely likely that they belong to a Brachiosaurid-type dinosaur weighing 60-70 tonnes.

[...] the tremendous forces generated as each foot of this giant dinosaur impacted with the ground (calculated at about 27, 000 pounds per square foot).

<tip, tip, tip...> Should be about 131.8 t/m². Wow. Though some say 12.5 t was the weight of an entire Giraffatitan... Impressive footprints, anyway. :-)
