On the contrary: see for instance comments here on Patagotitan:
svpow.com/2019/06/16/supersaurβ¦
Many, if not most sauropod specimens found are not full-grown, but sub-adults. According to Mark Norrell of the AMNH the 36 meter Patagotitan there may have been only about 70-80% grown.
As a side-note: Patagotitan was rather closely related to Argentinosaurus.

The skeletal consist of multiple individuals, including the largest known.

Yes, I know, but read my comment carefully again: there are indications that *those* specimens, including the largest of them, were not nearly fully grown (i.e. even the largest only 70-80%). Think of certain unfused vertebrae, scapula-coracoid, etc.

Late reply, but still, I think it's better to use. what we have instead of speculating how big the adult may have been.

Overall a magnificient illustration, but I especially like the detail that the osteoderms are well blended with the rest of the scaly skin, and do not stick out like I am used to see in this kind of dinosaurs.

Hmm, iam not the person interested in magical stuffs and fictional creatures. Put me in a theatre which is running dinosaurs or other extinct animals movie which i can enjoy. I love their documentaries too. As for your question, i have no favourite fairy tale but back then when i was a little kid, i had crush on mermaid. XD
