A description of Megalosaurus bucklandii (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Bathonian of the UK and the relationships of Middle Jurassic theropods (2010, background): “…following the equations of Anderson, Hall-Martin & Russell (1985), although this equation tends to underestimate body mass relative to three-dimensional modelling tech- niques, such as that of Henderson (1999): 7224 kg for Tyrannosaurus rex relative to 4500 kg estimated by Anderson et al. (1985).”

Growth Record and Histological Variation in the Dorsal Ribs of Camarasaurus sp. (Sauropoda) (2014, background): “One reason for sampling long bones is the direct correlation between the circumference or length of the bones and the mass of the individual (Anderson et al., 1985; Alexander, 1989; Bonnan, 2004; Mazzetta et al., 2004; Kilbourne and Makovicky, 2010).”
