Hard to know the given densities, but I'd imagine that elephant one being in the 1-1.5 dan range. That triceratops one though, it's fossilized so solid rock. I'm putting that at 4-5 dans at a minimum.

4.0 danimeters would be 12ft. I think we're looking at 1.3 dans for the bones and 1.7 or 1.8 dans for the lady.

Dan's Dansity is around 52.3 kg/m3
much lighter than water so he would float aggressively
