Many of the dinosaur families had some very large species at one time or another - the sauropods (long necks, long tails, plant-eaters) were probably the group that had the very largest kinds of dinosaurs; mostly in the Jurassic Period. Presumably in response the biggest predators got even bigger. Interestingly, each area of the world that was separate in the Cretaceous developed its own slightly different combination of huge plant-eaters and huge meat-eaters. Asia and North America had mostly huge Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsians in the Cretaceous, preyed on by the huge Tyrannosaurs. Africa and South America retained groups of huge sauropods (the Brachiosaurs were Cretaceous, for example), but in Africa the big predators seem to have been more Allosaurian, while in South America the big predators were advanced Ceratosaurs like Giganotosaurus.

For canivores (Therapods) the largest in terms of tonnage was indeed Gigantosaurus, but the Spinosaurus was longer and taller; this is based on fewer bones.
Amphiceolias Fragillimus is only known by a now lost bone and may have reached lengths of 190ft long.
Bruhathkeyosaurus is contraversial but could have been the biggest Dinosaur (maybe even Animal) 145ft in length and 240 tons maximums.
Most of the above are based on little bone matierial. In terms of more complete specamins are Brachiosaur which was tallest and heaviest and Dplodocus the longest.

it somewhat is a rather debatable section. Dinosaur continues to be are frequently a procedures from finished, and meaning sizes are frequently estimates in step with what bits have been got here across. there is likewise some subject led to with the aid of individuals enjoying being waiting to declare: "Na na na na na na! My sauropod's better than yours." a sturdy contender is Argentina's /Argentinosaurus/ envisioned at 40 metres or so.

The titanosaurs, such as Argentinosaurus, were the largest plant eaters and the Gigantosaurs were the largest meat eaters (yes, even larger than T. rex).
