Yeah, I'll have to watch that.
I could get someone to tweak widths and stuff however, so all may not be lost. But I will definitely keep an eye for stuff like this.

Barosaurus by cisiopurple (note that the biggest Barosaurus specimens would be about 6-8 times larger than this)  |

^Yes, good findings roninwolf. I will note however, as was pointed out in the comments, that that is scaled to Sauroposeidon size and not Paluxysaurus.

I know I'm late, but: " slightly too wide skull" So minor of a difference that I was able to notice it right off the bat. "slightly", yeah, okay. Here's some genuine advice: if you can't get a size comparison to be as accurate as possible, especially when it ends up in a borderline egregious error like widening the entire body in accordance with an attempt to widen only one part of it, then don't make that size comparison. I second that. I honestly think that dinosauria should reduce the number of size comparisons he posts. It is much better to spend time and dedication on ten size comparison than to half-ass a hundred. Remember that size comparisons should have scientific value and not just be made the instant a cool animal pairing pops into your mind (although this can be a motivation). |

^I get it, I get it. If fixing one error leads to another, don't make that size comparison.
I'll watch for that when I make more of them.

Anyhow... Here's Palaeoloxodon namadicus vs Antarctosaurus giganteus. Palaeoloxodon namadicus is scaled to ~500 cm SH and is around ~22 tonnes, while Antarctosaurus giganteus is based on Antarctosaurus wichmannianus, scaled to just over 24 meters standing length, and is probably ~88 tonnes. Skeletals are by Asier Larramendi and John D'Angelo  |

It almost seems as if when you tried widening the torso you ended up widening the entire body. Skull of Toxodon compared to the skulls of two rhino species (from Darren Naish's Twitter). Not 100% sure which species (though, one's clearly African and the other Asian). I'm going to assume black and Sumatran, but don't quote me on that.  Looks to be white rhino and Sumatran rhino. Sumatran rhino is easy to tell because it's the only 2-horned asian rhinoceros. |

5 Gorgosaurus vs 2 Mapusaurus. The Gorgosaurus are NMC 2120, 9.2 meters along the centra, and 3 tonnes each, while the Mapusaurus are MCF-PVPH-108.145, scaled to 13.6 meters along the curves and 8.5 tonnes each. Skeletals by randomdinos and Franoys.  |

You're absolutely right about the Sumatran rhino. For the African one I tried to see if I could identify it based on the length of the frontal. White rhinos have longer foreheads, but the perspective didn't help me.
Good. Because I'm thinking that the alternative should be that your posts be moderated in this particular thread.

It's still a bit of a shock to know that a gigantic sauropod existed in the North American continent RIGHT at the K-Pg event.

^Indeed it is! A sauropod in the size range of the biggest mamenchisaurs and titanosaurs, at the end of the Cretaceous, with the most famous dino of all. And on top of that, as with Paluxysaurus, they are in Texas!
