Everything Dinosaur team members have commissioned a Sauroposeidon scale drawing. The illustration is going to be used in the company’s Sauroposeidon fact sheet. This fact sheet will be sent out with sales of the new Haolonggood Sauroposeidon figures. The drawing shows the sauropod rearing up. This is because the Haolonggood figures are rearing up.

A Sauroposeidon Scale Drawing
The size of this dinosaur is not known. Based on the holotype cervical vertebrae, it has been estimated that this dinosaur measured more than thirty metres in length. It could have weighed as much as sixty tonnes. Size estimates are based on scaling up the Giraffatitan brancai specimen on display at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. Sauroposeidon (S. proteles) was formally named and described in 2000 AD (Wedel, Cifelli and Sanders).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We commission illustrations for use in the free fact sheets that we send out. These scale drawings provide a visual guide to the size of the animal. With Sauroposeidon we have based our size estimate based on scaling up a brachiosaurid. However, the taxonomy of Sauroposeidon remains controversial.”
