Limits RegistryPatagotitan mayorum, a titanosaur sauropod discovered in Argentina and described in 2014, is estimated at 69-77 tonnes based on limb-bone measurements — the best-supported estimate for the largest land animal known to have existed, though the estimate carries real uncertainty since no complete skeleton has been found and mass is inferred from bone dimensions using standard sauropod scaling models.
The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
Patagotitan mayorum, a titanosaur sauropod discovered in Argentina and described in 2014, is estimated at 69-77 tonnes based on limb-bone measurements — the best-supported estimate for the largest land animal known to have existed, though the estimate carries real uncertainty since no complete skeleton has been found and mass is inferred from bone dimensions using standard sauropod scaling models.
The greatest estimated body mass of any land animal known from the fossil record, based on the most complete skeletal remains discovered.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
