......some scientists do speculate that the Hilderbeastosaurus had an even larger butt......
Current studies seem to indicate her butt was so large it broke her arm

We could ask Helen Thomas, she’s probably seen a few dinos.

Widely cited estimates for the mass of Apatosaurus louisae, one of the largest of the dinosaurs, may be double that of its actual mass (38 tonnes vs. 18 tonnes)."What's a tonne?

They actually estimate a dino’s mass (or weight) by dunking a toy model of it into a volume-calibrated container of water. When they see how much of the water is displaced, they know the volume of the model. And since about 97-99% of body weight is water, volume is closely proportionate to weight. To complete the approximation for the actual, full-sized creature they step up the calculation through simple multiplication.

I tried that Primordial Soup. You wouldn’t believe the methane. In the soup or caused?
