interesting plot idea, and great first chapter! looking forward to the rest

Thanks for the small joke, that did give me a few chuckles. But we all have lives outside the forum!

Its great to have you back!

We as a community, Under stand Inactivity, For, we all have lives outside of the forum. HE'S LYING WE ALL BELONG TO THE FORUM, WE HAVE NO LIVES, THE FORUM IS OUR LIFE!!! Ah man, not that guy again. (Strikes through)

Anyhow, Welcome back, I look foreward to what you've go in store for us !

Cheers!

you've done a great job with these RexFan! i've been reading this, just hadn't had the time to comment on every chapter. Can't wait to see what you have in store

Side note, i've been holding off on the story of the Albertosaurus in one of my fights until you were done with this, gonna start on it now actually..

Great job again!

Ending was good!

As many have said before the use of other closely related Spinosauridaes is an inportant part of understanding Spinosaurus due to their physical similarities. Also what little people have found of it including the original sadly lost to Allied bombing has been extencively studied and by comparing the finds to its closest relatives and then making an educated guess they have been able to give form to something lost to the harsh and vast expanses of time. Still unless a well preserved complete or at least mostly complete skeleton is is found we may never know what Spinosaurus exactly looked like, but at least there is enough from its cousins and the little there is of itself to slowly put it back together and as new finds keep coming in the picture can only get clearer.

Took the quiz and got Spinosaurus.

Greatest asset: Strength? It could get through a metal fence clearly designed to keep dinosaurs out, but a small wooden door is a bit much. Oh, and a tree. At least the T-Tyrannosaurus Rex could get through a tree.

Try greatest asset: The power of Bullshit.

I'm interested as hell to see ____________'s point of view, and revisiting _________ and ___________. 

Thanks MrHappy. Storm was 18 when this fight took place and Synca was probably about 8 when he was an adult. So, yeah, Synca was pretty dang old for his standards.

Trust me, you'll love the final two installments ;)

Great story. I can imagine that Synca would have been a fossil, by small dinosaur standards at least. He was full grown when Kano and Longtooth were alive, and before Storm hatched, and now Storm is full grown. Synca was near the end of his time anyway. 

Took me a minute to remember the second of the two Fight to Survives you had, but I'm looking forward to catching up with some old friends in the second one. Also looking forward to the one that's coming up next.

No problem Gojira. There are a lot of fun quizzes on there. I'm just glad so many people enjoyed the JP quiz. There's a SW Character quiz too. It's pretty good. I got Boba Fett ;)

Nothing full(maybe a fragment or two). But spinosaurs overall had long arms, but not that long. Baryonyx is known from very complete remains and we know it wasn't a quadraped. Same with Suchomimus. This ties into my theory that Spinosaurus(or any theropod for that matter) could not reach much more than 12-14 tons(at least at the lengths they've been discovered at). Being two legged would not allow a weight much higher than that. There's a reason why T.rex, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Spinosaurus all were in the same general weight range. Because that represented the max weight a two legged theropod could reach. That's why I don't believe Spinosaurus(or any theropod) could reach the 18-23 tons some claim Spinosaurus did(once again, in theory).

To help illustrate my point about Baryonyx and Suchomimus...

Long arms, but not nearly long enough.

Based on the build of other spinosaurs, a quadrapedal position would have been unlikely. Plus, it would wear down it's claws, which appear to be it's primary weapons(this is all in theory of course).

I've always estimated Spinosaurus to be 14-17 meters long and 5-8 tons when fully grown and a hunter of fish, small dinosaurs, and medium sized dinosaurs. I still think the depiction in Planet Dinosaur is the most accurate, although I still don't fully agree with it(primarily it's weight and fighting ability against Carcharodontosaurus). That's just me though. 

That is something I have always thought. I've also always wondered why people were so positive that Spino had these massive meat hook claws on their arms, as we've never found any arm bones of Spino, i know they are probably just assuming based on Suchomimus and Baryonyx but still we don't really know.

that's something i've always wondered...how they get this:

from this:

The original find is a little baffling: Thelower jaw is rather crocodilian for sure, wiht Ouranosaurid like neural spines. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less

That's something that i've always questioned. And with "new remains being found that haven't been described", i guess we have to wait and see.

Fascinating animal, old spino is.

My estimates put him at around 16 meters and 9 tons, for an average beast. I base that off of Suchomimus Tenerensis, of course.

Again, there's just so many unknowns at the moment, we just have to wait and see what they find in that big ole' desert in Africa.

Yeah, I agreed with you Mr. Happy. You were pretty much dead on in my opinion.

Something Real, you are right, they didn't have much to go on when they, how shall we say, drew it to what it looked like. But I still think they got it pretty close in appearance. Weight, height, and length are another issue. Even based on th skeleton they found during WWII, they didn't know if it was fully grown. So there is no way to know the full bio on Spinosaurus. That is just my opinion.

Thanks UCMP, it's nice to know I have more readers.

Thanks UCMP.

Haha, love it. Great first chapter.

I almoszt forgot about it, it was really a long time ago, anyway, you can count on me. I'll definitely be reading, it sounds very interesting.

Great fight, I was rooting for the Concavenator.

I did a topic a while back that hits the high points of my opinion on Spinosaurus.

My Basic Opinion On Spinosaurus

Most people agreed with me, and the only person who got mad was this one guy who got pissed off when we said stuff was an opinion, so I'd call that a success.

It is good to see more information on prehistoric crocodillians since they are as amazing as the dinosaurs they shared the world with. Great find.

A very realistic fight with a belivable ending, sad as it my be, so great job and keep them coming

Sorry about the double typing.

Thanks. Yes he will be neat.

interesting indeed, this is probably where the crocodilian lineage homed that technique.

Gharials do not - to my knowledge - do the death roll, as sarcosuchus probably did not either. Their builds are very similar actually..

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Thanks Something Real. I will keep it up.

In a little bit I will post the first chapter. I must warn you it may not be in tone the prologue suggests. And thanks, it is nice to know I have readers.

ah yes, tomorrow as a matter of fact! i'll be posting in the morning

A story featuring Dinosaurs from Chaos Effect?

Count me in!
