15 meters long?

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

So in the article the lenght of the animal is said to be 15 meters, but most estimates i've seen place its lenght at 10 meters, so what's exactly going on? And should it be changed? Nanuq22 (talk) 14:22, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Parent clade

Datousaurus' current parent clade 'Mamenchisauridae' should be removed as the parent and moved to Eusauropoda as the modern consensus is that Datousaurus is an early diverging non-neosauropod eusauropod separate from Mamenchisauridae.
