Although reliable size and weight estimates for most known spinosaurids are hindered by the lack of good material, all known spinosaurids were large animals. [17] The smallest genus known from good material is Irritator , which was between 6 and 8 meters (20 and 26 feet) long and around 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons ; 0.98 long tons ) in weight.
Even by maximal size estimates, Irritator was smaller than other known spinosaurids. Gregory S. Paul calculated its length at 7.5 meters (25 ft) and weight at 1 tonne (1.1 short tons). [ 36 ] Thomas R. Holtz Jr. published a higher estimate of 8 meters (26 ft), with a weight between 0.9 to 3.6 tonnes (0.99 to 3.97 short tons).
Suchomimus was a relatively large theropod, reaching 9.5–11 metres (31–36 ft) in length and weighing 2.5–3.8 metric tons (2.8–4.2 short tons). However, the age of the holotype specimen is uncertain, so it is unclear whether this size estimate would have been its maximum.
The estimates were criticized because the skull length estimate was uncertain, and (assuming that body mass increases as the cube of body length) scaling Suchomimus, which was 11 m (36 ft) long and 3.8 t (4.2 short tons) in mass, to the range of estimated lengths of Spinosaurus would produce an estimated body mass of 11.7 to 16.7 t (12.9 to 18. ...

This chart by PaleoNeolitic needs to be updated to include Kelumapusaura machi, a new kritosaurin hadrosaur. Thankfully, its describers offer a size estimate: 8-9 meters long. Miracusaurs 04:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC) Very cool, gonna add it shortly. PaleoNeolitic 14:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
