A scale diagram showing the titanosaur <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andesaurus" class="extiw" title="en:Andesaurus">Andesaurus</a></i> compared to some humans.
<dl><dd>•<i>Andesaurus</i> silhouette is based proportionally on a skeletal diagram by Nima Sassani with some modifications. Used with permission, retrieved online.<sup id="cite_ref-SassaniDAAndesaurus_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SassaniDAAndesaurus-1">[1]</a></sup></dd>
<dd>•The holotype specimen of <i>Andesaurus</i> (MUCPv 132) is known from incomplete remains. Therefore the size and proportions shown here are not certain. The type specimen preserves four posterior dorsal vertebrae, two sacral vertebrae, 25 caudal vertebrae, partial ribs, and partial limb material.<sup id="cite_ref-mannion11_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mannion11-2">[2]</a></sup> No neck material is known. Published length estimates from Andesaurus range from 15 m to 18 m.<sup id="cite_ref-G.S.Paul2010_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-G.S.Paul2010-3">[3]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Holtz2008_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Holtz2008-4">[4]</a></sup> Sassani's restoration is slightly longer than these estimations.</dd>
<dd>• Humans scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in).</dd></dl><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="References">References</span></h2>
