Description: A scale diagram showing the giant titanosaur Patagotitan mayorum, compared to some humans. • Patagotitan silhouette based proportionally on a skeletal reconstruction by Henrique Paes, used with permission.[1] • Patagotitan is one of the more complete giant titanosaurs but there are still areas that are unknown.[2] The proportions shown here, such as neck and tail length, are dependent on how many vertebrae are used to fill in the gaps; these proportions might differ slightly between reconstructions. • Humans scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in).References ↑ Henrique, Paes.
