VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=5 suggested=4.2 confidence=medium — Current summaries of the literature describe Gigantspinosaurus as a moderately sized stegosaur measuring up to 4.2 m in length, following Paul's (2010) estimate for the holotype ZDM 0019; no peer-reviewed source supports a 5 m upper bound.

VERIFY:weight_max_kg: stored=1500 suggested=700 confidence=high — The published mass estimate for Gigantspinosaurus is about 700 kg (1,500 lb) per Paul (2010); the stored 1500 kg appears to be the pound figure recorded as kilograms, making it more than double any supported estimate.
