[dinosaur] Width of Maarapunisaurus torso



Good day to all listmembers,

I was just wondering - given that giant CopeÂs vertebra was real (and its size was not exaggerated) - how wide and tall would a trunk of _Maarapunisaurus fragillimus_ be? Was it something like 5 or even more meters? Molina-Perez and Larramendi are giving _Argentinosaurus huinculensis_ a maximum width of its trunk at 4 meters, so I guess giant Jurassic rebbachisaurid could be even "wider". There was also an overestimate (?) for _Puertasaurus reuili_ at jaw-dropping five to eight meters (based on its vertebra 1.68 m wide), but I guess that would be way too much? Thank you for your thoughts! Tom
