- C Footprints alone
B Fragmentary fossils, including vertebrae and limb bones
Only a limited number of Argentinosaurus fossils have been discovered, including parts of the vertebral column, limb bones, ribs, and sacrum.
By comparing and analyzing these bones alongside fossils from closely related species, scientists have estimated the dinosaur’s total length and body weight.
