Dinosaur Questions

[Thorondor 33]

I have to talk to some grade 2's next week on dinos, so can I have a couple questions answered?

Biggest dinosaur: Length, height, weight
Biggest herbivore: Length, height, weight
Biggest carnivore: Length, height, weight
Smallest dinosaur: Length, height, weight
Longest dinosaur: Length
Heaviest dinosaur: Weight
Tallest dinosaur: Height

I might think of some more Thanks! ;D

Largest carnivore: Spinosaurus; est. 56 ft long, 13 tons
Longest dinosaur: Seismosaurus at 131 ft -- although it is probably an old Diplodocus, so diplodocus is a safe answer
Tallest dinosaur: Brachiosaurus--head was held at height of 40 ft
Smallest dinosaur: ?Compsognathus (3 ft)
Heaviest & largest herbivore: Argentinosaurus -- 90 tonnes, 115 ft long.

There are numerous sauropods which are supposedly longer, heavier, or taller than the dinosaurs mentioned above (sauroposeidon, supersaurus, paralititan, etc etc); however, many of the remains are fragmentary--a neck vertebra here, a femur there--so it is not possible to give reasonable estimates. It is likely that most of these 'giants' are simply aged, long-lived members of the more commonly known genera.
