Well they made nice mid fight snacks don't you think? Also, what did you think of my format. Not telling you who will fight until later?

T-rex grew rapidly from ages 13-18. Then they continued to grow until they died at age 30, but it was much slower. Perhaps they represent male and female animals. Hard to say which is which, but explains why one was bigger than the other. Just a thought.

Nice. I was rooting for Tyrannotitan. Frankly, I would have fired Bill and Bob. They just sit back and provide commentary when deadly theropods break out? Some workers.

Not bad. DinoFights, 14+ meters? Seems a little big, but that's just me.

Good fight kinda was rooting for the carcharodontosaurus but it was entertaining nonetheless!

Okay, interesting. How can something be 2 meters tall and only. 5 feet long? That defies the laws of physics.

Wow, good story. I'm looking forwards to the next one.

Okay, a bit hard to follow, but still pretty good.

Yes, it was 16, and that's almost ten years short of the lifespan of Sue, and it was only slightly smaller than her. But we know Tyrannosaurus had a slow growth rate after about 15. I don't doubt it would have been bigger than her, but not by much. Maybe it would be 43 feet if she was 40 (skeleton axial length).

Great fight! I wasn't sure who would win. You truly did a great job on the fight.

Nice job! I'll be reading more!

Nice. Two 14+ meter giants and two juveniles, no matter how gracile, are too much for one theropod to handle, even if it's a 17 meter giant.

Good fight. Bill and Bob didn't seem too responsible.

yes the 52 foot long specimen is in fact ucmp the 16 year old not the toe the 48 foot long one is actually mor 1126 and mor 1152

I've just released part one of my jp story,the life of Longclaw

True, but most of the time, they'd be horizontal, so really, the more vertical wouldnt count for much.

I can see a 45 feet rex, barely. As for pack hunting, I think a small family pack. Kids and parents, and even young adults. Maybe a brother or sister, but nothing else.

Yeah. They walked with their bodies(and heads) horizontal to the ground most of the time, but when surprised, trying to look bigger for intimidation or attraction(mating), or even just trying to get a better view of something, they would have been more erect and therefore taller.

Which season finale? The last chapter of The Fight To Survive or one of the Clash of... seasons? Just curious. Rooting for Ceratosaurus for the next one too.

Alright guys, here I come ;) I see Tyrannosaurus averaging 40-43 ft long and 7-8 tons. However, isolated finds and new studies point to max size of 46-50 ft long and perhaps 9 tons or more(maybe as high as 10-12 tons). A recent study shows that Sue, a 42 ft long Rex weighed 8-9 tons at least. As far as pack hunting goes, I see it as fully possible, maybe even likely. Juveniles, faster and more agile, would chase down the prey into the jaws of the larger and stronger, but slower, adults and they would kill the prey. A similar scenario is seen in When Dinosaurs Roamed America and Mammals vs Dinos.

DinoFights is right. I see Rex maxing out 45 feet (maybe), and I have said before (unrelated maybe), that I believe the few remains we have of Spino could have just been one of those really big ones that got really old, and I think they might have been the only bones durable enough to have survived for millions of years in the desert. Not trying to bring up Rex vs Spino (it's dead), but that my opinion. Maybe Spinosaurus averaged 46-50 (give or take), and we only had the one exceptional fossil.

AMAZING! I LOVE THIS FIGHT! Not to be mean but its in my top 3 it was my third. Rex Fan's season finale and my first BR3

Of course they would have most of the time, but standing with the head up from time to time (as when surprised) like this [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130609162224/jurassicpark/images/8/89/Ceratosaurus1.jpg[/img] Is almost certain.

Size is roughly even, they go shot for shot in speed, agility, weapons and everything, really. It will certainly be interesting to write.

Welcome! Hopefully I'm not making a bad first impression, but... I'm guessing you got this information from the UCMP toe bone or the "22 m" Rigby's Rex? UCMP is too flat and wide to belong to a tyrannosaurus. The 22 m Rigby Rex is just as much nonsense as the 25 m "Liopleurodon", 20 ton Deinocheirus and 22 m Kelmayisaurus. Basically unfounded apart from a random theory that someone threw out. The 15-16 m Tyrannosaurus comes from the same people who said a pliosaur skeleton belonged to a late cretaceous stegosaur and mistook a fossilized tree for "Bruhathkayosaurus'" femur. The team based that purely off of size and location, which everyone knows is a bad things to do. There's no direct pack hunting evidence, but I see it as fully possible. How else would they take on utterly massive and dangerous prey like Ankylosaurus and Triceratops, both of which are generally agreed upon to be able to beat a Tyrannosaurus face to face (or face to tail) As Spyrannosaurus says, reconstruct animals how they are, not how you want them to be.

Did not know about packs that large, but I personally see 52 feet pushing it. I think 45-48 feet tops (for any Rex, dug up or not).

I'm rooting for Ceratosaurus to win in the next round.

Hip height and head hight might be the same if the large dinosaurs held thier heads like this [img]http://www.hugi.is/media/contentimages/55104.jpg[/img] [img]http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111116692/3088248-7902700878-tyran.jpg[/img]

Yeah, I don't like hip height. Plus, it makes the dinosaur sound less impressive, haha. Which sounds scarier? A 20 ft tall Rex or a 13-16 ft tall Rex? A 20 ft tall Giga or a 13-16 ft tall Giga? You get what I mean?

I put my max sie estimates for these dinosaurs ;) Keep in mind I did say that they were my estimates. Raptorexxx, I see a 50 ft Rex weighing at least 9 tons, but 11-12 is not unreasonable(again, my estimates)

No known T. rex exceeded 43 feet, with Sue measuring 40 feet in axial skeleton length. Factor in discs and a tail tip, she's 41-42 feet.

I measure height at the head because hip height isn't peak height.

Thanks again everyone. I never expected so may antisocial people and Kelmayisaurus supporters hahaha

tyrannosaurus rex meaured over 40 to 51ft long thanks for mentioning that and actually a 50 ft trex would probably weight around 13 tons

well you also should also list stygimoloch and epydixeptryx

Great Fight even if i was rooting for Kelmayisaurus!

hi im new here i know this seem strange but i cant start a discussion whenever i do it just leads to the discussion page and my discussion is not there

I was wondering maybe tyrannosaurus x. It may or may not be a T. rex, and is about as light as allosaurus.

That's why I said have evidence of ;) You could have done a rival Rex tyrant, but hey, it's your story.

Yeah, the last evidence we have evidence for of an allosaurid in N. America is of Acrocanthosaurus and it lived about 130 million years ago or so.
