What is being measured?
The Fossils description gives about 7 m for a fossil believed to be juvenile. The Fast Facts panel is 7–8 m; this reference preserves the specimen description. This is a museum-published reconstruction estimate, not an exact living-animal measurement.
Use the named object, variant and dimension. A manufactured or natural object can differ from this reference.
