Makes me think that perhaps the size of amphicoelias may not have been exaggerated as much as it's believed when compared to the size of this sauropod..
Well, we only have one fossil of Amphicoelias, and it has been destroyed, so it is hard to say for certain. I'll be patient until more Amphicoelias are found. For now, these two giants are the biggest dinosaurs.

Balaur, I'm sorry that I made such a stupid mistake but thank you for pointing it out to me, as I've now checked and confirmed that these are in fact two different discoveries. I thought I'd checked and made sure it was the same animal but obviously it wasn't. I was honestly a little surprised that they'd taken such a short time to fully analyse the material for naming. Now I really do feel like the school dunce!  :-[
Still, I think Dreadnoughtus deserves to be discussed, so I'll create a new thread (unless DTF would be kind enough to move what's been said so far ;))
UPDATE - Where've I been, my other hobbies, and how to navigate my Flickr:
