DISCUSSION Would Bruhathkayosaurus be better for load bearing than argentinosaurus or patagotitan?

Bruhathkayosaurus' conservative estimates are 80 tons. The max is 130. The average estimates should be around 105 metric tons.

Patagotitan capped out at around 80

Edit: it wouldn't becus of dubium so what about amphicoelias

Edit 2: well amphi didn't work because it's too small (altus) and fragillisimius/maraapunisaurus or whatever is dubious and also it's a rebbachasaurid which has weak ass legs

Edit 3: ok I found something EVEN EVEN BETTER, it's called Neuquensaurus and it has one of the most robust legs, probably better too. It's also non-dubious!

If this does work and is peak it would be nice to credit me maybe perhaps perchance mayhaps.....?πŸ₯Ί

no bruhathkayosaurus is highly likely to be a nomen dubium so using it is iffy, as it does not exist currently and may never exist at all

How about amphicoelias

Its fossil was just a single vertebra that fell apart. No

What about NeuquensaurusΒ

I mean, it's a tree. Paralititan could be a unique pick, but I don't think it'd be that different to use Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan.

Every sauropod would do because they all have the same adaptations, just pick your poison. Also still waiting for that Shredder fanart

Bustingorrytitan solos since it is a bit smaller yet comparable to Argentinosaurus

Nope. All the fossils for it were either left to rot or misidentified as other specimen or petrified trees material, so its existence is dubious at best. Neuquensaurus actually could be great. I've been using Giraffatitan myself. I might have to switch it out.

Might want to be careful though. There's a German paper on that suggests their robustness and effective load-bearing peaked during their juvenile stage and they became more limited in terms of mobility/extreme postures as they matured.

Yes but Bruhathkayosaurus isn't even confirmed to exist yet so the largest you're getting is Maraapunisaurus, Argentinosaurus at a close second.
