VERIFY:weight_max_kg: stored=4000 suggested=3200 confidence=medium — Published mass estimates for the Maiasaura ontogenetic series place fully grown adults at roughly 1680-3200 kg, and the large-sample growth study (Woodward et al. 2015) gives an asymptotic adult mass of about 2.3 tonnes. A 4000 kg upper bound is not supported by the measured adult specimens.
