Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Maybe you could add anomalocaris. It was the very first super predator, so it holds a record and I think it deserves a mention. Though, this is completely up to you.
Projects
Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates
Last one crawling: The last arthropod

ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)

Potential ideas-
Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized.
Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal.
Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.

Some good suggestions are on the DA page. Even if he doesn't want to add specific sauropods, there are a number of candidates to choose from.

Are you still keeping the lion's mane jellyfish and the giant trees?

Probably the lion's mane jellyfish, but the trees because its size I cant show them in the actual size chart, those would make the image too large. I guess I would use them for another of the size charts.

I know, but, at the same I feel there are also others that have its own candidates based on its own calculations, which probably not here but in other places would causes discussions, so I want to stay neutral with sauropods.

A creature from Anthropomundus is already featured, the Grand grampus (147).

Metazoica would basically flood the entire thing with 45 foot tall camels (tbf they are much lankier than modern camels) and dinosaur-copy elephant shrews.

And if you really want sauropod size charts so badly, there are plenty of others that do them pretty well. Dragonthunders had no obligation to it.

I'm hoping Valhalla can make it into the alien chart. It doesn't have that many pictures now, but that can easily be remedied.

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

Dragonthunders is trying to keep stuff from outside the forum to a minimum (going only with landmark works or particularly famous ones); as such, while Predakor's stuff is interesting, it's probably off the table.
Well, including terra mirus. It's cool, but not particularly famous or expansive
Remember that I take more points than being famous or expansive, such as quality, creativity and development, which terra mirus have.
Predakor's things are really good, but, for now i will not add them.
Okay, I guess that's fair enough. But something has been bugging me. In the last picture what is that giant long thing?

No.1
and
No.2
,both by Rexisto.

Very dated these ones are, but there's a number of obscure sauropods listed which could be used for comparisons or guestimates if anyone is interested.

And if that giant Paraceratherium is a thing, maybe it was the record breaker after all.

That's from a Japanese future evolution site. It's sort of tongue-in-cheek, and not very serious, but it's worth looking at anyway.
