Can't wait for it. I hope that both kick some ice age ass.

Yes Spino is in it. Just not vs Rex right now. Btw, its going to be VERY long...

Spinosaurus all the way!

Like I said, this is going to be BIG.

Looking forward to it.

Oh, its a bunch of fights and match-ups!

Sounds good. If it's a bunch of fights, Rex all the way.

I have that book. I'm not sure where it is or what the title is, but I have that book.

This your inspiration?

Not much, but it's OK. Easy to tell it's fan made, but not the worst thing I've ever seen.

Its not a real trailer raptor.

Gald you liked it!

Not really a good trailer, but at least it's something!

Good chapter again, looking forward to the next.

It's okay!

Great! Also, Im sorry, but i have to much on my plate to be a proofreader, until further notice. Hope you understand...

I've seen the pic you based this off of! Cool picture!

Thanks for the reference UCMP :)

Okay, but I don't have an account... Guess I have to make one.

Upload them on Deviant Art. Then copy and paste the URL.

Nice job. I suggest a T-rex chasing after a hadrosaur ;)

How do you get your own pictures in a discussion anyways? I can never seem to get my OWN pictures on my discsussion.

I see it as an Allosaur myself. There were no Spinosaurs in North America, and hardly any at all in the Northern Hemisphere. It's kinda like the lack of Tyrannosaurs in the Southern hemisphere, but Tyrannotitan looks semi-Tyrannosaur with its little arms.

Zilla, there's no need to be a di*k just because we have different thoughts than you. 

Assuming that you are referring to species like Crocodylus Porosus and Crocodylus Niloticus, that is incorrect. Its snout was in fact far more specialized than that of most modern crocodilians and was analogous to species like the false gharial and freshwater crocodile most of all.

Quote: the same killing style (in water)

Assuming that you are talking about the death roll, spinosaurus could not due this... Its bipedal and primarily terrestrial morphology would not allow it. Let alone its enlarged spinal column that would hinder such a movement...

Quote: and the same eating style (thrashing the prey around to get a chunk of meat). Its head worked the same way as a croc.

Spinosaurus could not do this; its skull was not designed to withstand such torsional stress. It was strong, but it was merely designed for gripping.

Acrocanthosaurus was definitely NOT a spinosaur... Much of its morphology in fact points to it belonging to allosauria and in-turn carcharodontosauria. And enlarged spinal column does not mean shit!

"everyting in palontology is an oppinion!!!1"- says you not a month ago. Seriously, you people are stubborn as shit; you only accept things as fact when it goes your way. You guys really aren't putting yourself in very good light to this forum (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A LEGITIMATE ANIMAL FORUM WHERE 95% OF THE MEMBERS KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND CAN ACTUALLY ENGAGE IN SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION WITHOUT REFUTING EVERYTHING AS A DAMN OPINION): http://theworldofanimals.proboards.com/thread/465/topix-animal-community

I swore that I would not come back here, but this is literally making even my eyes facepalm... I'm sorry for being like this, but it should be a shame that the people on Topix are more fun to debate with and are in general less biased and hypocritical (and THAT is not something to be proud of... If you guys make the forum that is polluted with spammy and nonsensical trolls look like the presidential debate, you guys clearly have some tweaking to commence)

google scholar helped me do my research, it's better to do research then to say something that has no scientific backing.

Thank you! Make sure to follow if you haven't already!

i knew it was the levine from TLW! Can't wait for the sequel.

Oh, I, for some reason knew you were referring to the Next Generation one.

Okay, thank you, I think i like the Legacy title better, too. 

Didn't realize they both had legacy in them. The Next Generation one.

Also your a moderator, so what exactly do you mods do?

Looking forward to the sequel. For some reason, I think I may have liked it better if that was the case with Stardust, and then just those two surviving the battle. That's just me though, great story still.

As for a title, I'd have to say the Legacy one.

Good job.

thanks!

yup, my thoughts as well. Evolution is laughable to me, ive looked over it time and and time again, there are simply too many holes in the theory and everything is simply to orderly and efficient to have come by chance. i could litterally write pages upon pages about the flaws in the theory of evolution(as well as evidence to support creation and clear up missconceptions about it) and there are hundreds of examples of things in nature that completely show evolution to be flase. that however, can be discussed in some other post.

in any case, even if did belive in that nonsennse i still wouldn't thin acaro was a spino ancester,didn't it live around the same time? also the structure of the spines in acaro and in spino are totally different. acarocanthosaurus spines would have supported lots of muscle, were thickly built, and designed to lock into place when needed. none of this applies to spinosaurus spines. plus the overall build and the jaws especially are very different.

No, I would not consider Acro to be a Spinosaur ancestor.  Spinosaurs were already living in a different part of the world, and as far as we know, no Spinosaur ever lived in North America.

The ridge that Acro had was analogous with other Spinosaurs (ex. Suchomimus) and Ouranosaurus.  Even though they may have had the same structure and function, they have two different lineages.

Also, the jaws and arms of Acro were homologous with other allosaurids (and to an extent the carcharodontosaurids).  It just so happened that the population of allosaurs that evolved into Acros had the alleles for more muscular arms and taller vertebrae and they stayed in North America while the other allosaur populations migrated to the landmass that would split into Africa and South America and grew larger and heavier.

True.

Yah, but it still sucks though!
