Image: Phuwiangosaurus Scale

Description: Size comparison of the Lower Cretaceous Thai somphospondylian sauropod Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae. The unknown regions have been restored with Wintonotitan, Sarmientosaurus, Paluxysaurus, and (minimally) Euhelopus. The silhouette was scaled based to match the size indicated in a diagram in Suteethorn et. al. (2009). The human silhouette is from File:Silhouette of man standing and facing forward.svg (CC0).
