English: A hypothetical scale diagram showing the holotype specimen of the titanosaur Argyrosaurus compared to some humans. The silhouette shown here is speculative due to the fragmentary remains of Argyrosaurus and uncertainties around the referrals of other specimens to the genus.

• The holotype specimen of Argyrosaurus , MLP 77-V-29-1, is known from just a forelimb, including the humerus, ulna, radius, and five metacarpals. Other specimens have been assigned to the genus since it's initial discovery, including, various limb bones, some vertebra, and a partial skeleton PLV 4628. However, a study published in 2012 considered these referrals doubtful.^[1]

• Argyrosaurus silhouette inspired by a composite skeletal diagram by Nima Sassani (used with permission, retrieved online)^[2], and other titanosaur reconstructions. The exact size and proportions shown here are not certain. Sassani's reconstruction combines many referred elements, including PLV 4628, that was assigned to its own genus, Elaltitan, in 2012.^[1]

• The limb bones are based on photos in Powell (2003) and Mannion & Otero (2012).^[3][1]

• Humans scaled to 170 cm and 160 cm.
