Division into "parts of the body" is conditional and does not mean real parts of the vertebral column.
Body weight estimation:
Total length = 17.1 m (see Grigoriev, 2014, fig. 4) = 171 dm = 1368 px.
Head:
Avergade width: 55 px = 6.9 dm.
Length: 137 px = 17.1 dm
Avergade height: 50 px = 6.3 dm.
Volume: 743.337 dm3.
Torso:
Avergade width: 138 px = 17.3 dm
Length: 544 px = 68 dm.
Avergade height: 142 px = 17.8 dm
Volume: 20939.92 dm3.
Tail:
Avergade width: 80 px = 10 dm.
Length: 357 px = 44.6 dm
Avergade height: 71 px = 8.9 dm.
Volume: ~3969.4 dm3.
tail fluke:
Avergade width: 20 px = 2.5 dm
Length: 330 px = 41.3 dm.
Avergade height: 79 px = 9.9 dm.
Volume: ~1022.175 dm3.
Total volume: 26674.832 dm3 = 26674.832 liters.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but isn't Mosasaurus' strength too high?
I heard that the mosasaurus skull was strong enough to withstand a lot of pressure, but that much?
Thanks in advance for your response and if possible I would like a source to accompany this
