i need to know the weight of a brachiosaurus skeleton for a calc, but whenever i look it up, all i can find is the weight of a live brachiosaurus.

Density of their bones * volume of their skeleton

and how am i supposed to figure those out? if i can't find the weight of their skeleton, how would i be able to find the density of their bones?

Skeletal weight ratio increases as the size of an animal increases, this experiment provides some data.
I put the body weights and skeleton weights into a table, and then performed a natural logarithmic regression which fit nicely on the graph.
The equation I got was: Bone Weight Ratio = 0.0860709488 + 0.0121947082ln(Total Weight in Kilograms), with an r^2 of 0.969.
Plugging in the average estimate for a brachiosaurus's weight of 43.15 (43150kg), we get a bone ratio of 0.21621821271289.
Therefore, the average estimate for the weight of a brachiosaurus skeleton should be around an average of 9,329.82kg.
The low end would be 6,119kg and the high end would be 12,541kg.

No problem. I enjoy the opportunity to bust out the Ti-84.
