By the way, you mentioned you'd trust Franoys over most other people about MOR 980's size. I found a quote from them about it.
"There are also specimens comparable to CM 9380 in size, so specimens that sue outsizes by about a 5%, or not much more than that, AMNH 5027, MOR 980, MOR 555, BHI 3033.
So far all of the above are over 11.5 m in length except perhaps Stan although that is not certain."

This would support a length around the 11.7 meters mark for MOR 980. Just thought you might want to know what Franoys had to say about it; I definitely agree with you that above all else, this specimen needs a good description and measurements.

So going from that size comparison MOR 980s skull and mandable look huge larger than Sues its pubis looks very similar to Sues to it really does not look much smaller at all just shorter in length. 

Its very possible it is around 11.7 meters but possibly in the 8000 kg range so yeah i would personally say its in the same kind of range to Sue(8400 kg to 8828 kg) not quite as big though and quite a lot less than Scotty if we are going from persons et Al (8870 kg) and from what Franoys has said to me regarding the size of Scotty he stated it is possibly around 300-500 kg more than Sue so possibly 9128 kg to 9328 kg


But i can not be 100 percent concrete on MOR 980 with out any peer reviewed description. So yeah id say it is a large specimen going from the limited stuff we have but its up to you what you do lad. Reply
