Let's add something to compare the 300' monster with, a 100' creature that exists today.
Blue Whale:
The largest mammal on earth is the blue whale and it is actually the
largest animal to ever have lived on this earth, even bigger than the
largest recorded dinosaur. Adults can grow up to 100 feet long and weigh
100 tons.
a passage about blue whales from the book "Among Whales" by
Roger Payne, President of the Whale Conservation Institute:
"In a large blue whale the heart weighs about four thousand pounds (2 tons)
and probably pumps about sixty gallons with each beat. Its valves would be
about the size of a hub cap, and a child could crawl through the aorta, the
largest blood vessel leaving the heart. So large are the arteries that even
sixty feet aft of the heart, where the main artery has narrowed down to a
diameter needed to support just the last few muscles attached to the last
few vertebrae, this vessel is still about the size of the sewer pipes that
carry waste water away from the average house - large enough, that is, to
allow a good sized trout to swim leisurely along it." The heart contracts
about 18-20 beats per minute or once every three seconds.
For further information search WhaleNet's educational resource pages.
A 300 foot dinosaur would be extremely large but maybe, just maybe, this was an oceangoing creature.

There is much we don’t know as far as earth's early life. Maybe the earth was littered with these things.
They could have remained lost as the land they were buried in, sank underneath another tectonic plate. Maybe their food supply didn’t simply run out, rather always limited their numbers? Reducing their probability of surviving long enough to litter the earth’s surface with their remains.
In addition, I feel that the extreme concentration of oxygen and the atmospheric pressure of the time led to some amazing changes in life on the surface of the planet. The early Earth was like a huge hyperbaric chamber. Anything could have been produced.
We may also not find many of them because an adult of this species, if dominant, might live long enough to eliminate offspring very efficiently. Early dinosaurs, like many other living things of the time probably had long natural life spans. Longer than their smaller, modern counter parts. If it did have the run of the place, because of its size, it would have been to its detriment. Not many would have made it to adult hood.
I had a thread about the “Hyperbaric chamber” like conditions of early earth. www.abovetopsecret.com...
IMO All creatures here once had longer life spans and larger size due to the unique conditions they lived in. Early humans co-existed with dinosaurs as giants. They may not have been completely human but they just shrank along with the rest of the planet as our atmosphere dissipated into what it is today.
