Another explanation I've read for the size of the creatures back then was that the atmospere may have contained much more oxygen (or some other gas), allowing bigger animals to exist.

It is now believed that sauropods didn’t and couldn’t raise their heads way up like the illustration shows - they kept their necks more parallel to the ground.

Well, Ted, I suppose reiterating your nonsense as an article instead of a post is one way to get around being banned.

Intersting...

But Jupiter and Saturn never attained enough mass to start a reaction and even if Earth was sitting on top of them it couldn’t it get enough heat for life.

The universe was created as observed and it works out just fine. God is a great engineer, and since he wanted big dinosaurs he made them.

I see some years have gone by since this posting was placed, but I hadn’t made the video until two years later, and not discovered the post until now :-)

Although the below link specifically addresses the Sun, the induced gravity aspect may relate to the topic at hand:
“An Empty Sun - Can Gravity be Induced?”

Excellent post. I have wondered along these lines for years. We don’t even know for sure how fast the earth was spinning 200 million years ago, ie., how long a day was, let alone how long the earth’s orbit of the sun took, ie., how long a year was.

I hope I live long enough to see what kind of creatures Lake Vostok holds.
