This paleontological restoration is highly hypothetical, as very little fossil material of the animal is known. Use of this image might be controversial.

Reason: Paralititan is known from fragmentary remains.
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia.

Summary

Description
English: A scale diagram of the fragmentary titanosaur Paralititan stromeri compared to some humans. Bones that where illustrated in the paper describing the genus, are shown in white. The silhouette shown here is speculative due to the fragmentary remains of Paralititan.
• The holotype specimen of Paralititan, CGM 81119, is known from, incomplete scapula two humeri, a metacarpal, two sacral vertabrae, two caudal vertebrae and some dorsal and sacral ribs.[1]
• Silhouette inspired by a composite skeletal of Argyrosaurus diagram by Nima Sassani; used with permission (retrieved online) [2] and other titanosaurs.
• The bones are based primarily on Figure 2 in Smith et. al. 2001.[1]
• Humans scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in).
