What Is The World's Heaviest Or Biggest Dinosaur?

as a kid questions like this fascinated me,


and 60 years on there is still not a clear answer, but one contender is Patagotitan, a titanosaur that weighed a whopping 69 tons (62 metric tons) when it lived about 100 million years ago in what is now Argentina, however, this weight was calculated based on a composite of individuals (there were six found in all), rather than just one dinosaur, for more about this unresolved subject have a look here, above the dinosaur model of Patagotitan is larger than the exhibition area, as it welcomes guests as they enter the hall at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, photograph copyright AMNH/D. Finnin.
