In reply to PraedSt's comment: There was a thread on some of this last month. Lots of good posters. Have a look.

Thanks PraedSt. There are some interesting comments in that thread. This thread adds the question of how to support a mass of a sauropod.
There are two similar issues, that mass of flying insects and reptiles vs the mass of current flying insects and reptiles and aeronautical limitations. The second is the limits of biological materials to support the mass of a sauropod?
This comment by Robison in that thread is interesting. I support Robison's comment that the book "The History of Oxygen" is interesting.
Oh No!: Pterosaurs couldn't soar, says expert
