VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=4.5 suggested=3.8 confidence=medium — Current size estimates for Ornithomimus edmontonicus cap adult length at about 3.8 m — <cite index="15-1">it measured up to 3.8 m long and weighed up to 170 kg</cite> — consistent with Paul's (2010) estimate of 3.8 m and 170 kg based on specimens such as CMN 12228. The stored 4.5 m maximum exceeds the length any current source supports.
