Sure thing.

Thanks

It's pretty funny that the same WIKIPEDIA article which you used also states that the skull of Spinosaurus had poor resistance in comparison to other Spinosaurids like Baryonyx.Even though i don't think that the jaws of Spinosaurus were as robust as you make them, i don't believe that they were less robust than the jaws of a Baryonyx.

Godzillasaurus, you aren't gonna convince anyone anytime soon. There's no point. Your opinion belongs to you and I'm not about to let you force it upon everyone else by stating that it's the absolute truth.

did...did you just use wikipedia as a source? For the last time :WE DON'T know the body plan of spinosaurus! allosaurus is a terrible anology. two COMPLETELY different animals. Allosaurus wasn't a specialized fish eater, so OF COURSE it wasn't good at gripping. it's teeth weren't meant for that. Why? because....as i've stated...it wasn't designed for it. point blank period.

You haven't explained anything! all you have done is state your opinions. that is all, anything else you claim is just B.S. The only source you have given is wikipedia...also, no mention of a rostra in it whatsoever, only teeth and the vague phrase 'possible material'

Onchopristis was a huge fish yes, but i didn't say it wasn't in any way shape or form. 

P.S. i use suchomimus because that's what ole' spiny has it's body plan based off of XD

Quote: Using other spinosaurs, some of which were SUB ADULTS or are poorly known like spinosaurus isn\'t a good point at all.. no spinosaurs had \' robust\' skulls. most are long and narrow enter suchomimus:

--So you\'re using suchomimus as a decent analogy for spinosaurus? Even when it was so much more gracile than spinosaurus (baryonychines were considerably more gracile than spinosaurines and were less well adapted for gripping resistance).

Quote: Does this seem robust to you in any way? it\'s entirely long and shallow.

--Spinosaurus begs to differ. It was still relatively narrow, but its snout was considerably broader and was far better adapted for killing large animals efficiently without breaking.

Quote: You can guess at all you state above as your opinion. There is literally no scientific evidence to back up for claims godzillasaurus.

--Oh, but there is... I have explained this too much...

Quote: Just because Spinosaurus had well constructed jaws, does not mean they had high bite forces or powerful jaws.

--THAT is what makes its jaws strong in the first place: their very heavy build. High biting forces are not a necessity for spinosaurus; what matters instead is a high capacity/ability for its snout to withstand the pressures found in predation.

Quote: Spinosaurus was an adapted FISH eater like other spinosaurs. No wonder it was better at gripping it\'s prey! allosaurus wasn\'t a fisher, so your point doesn\'t make sense to the argument.

--The fish that spinosaurus was adapted to kill were huge and very powerful, you know that right? Its snout was perfectly designed for withstanding the stress that would be experienced in gripping them without breaking as evidenced by its robusticity; that is really the bottom line here. Allosaurus killed with quick and forceful vertical bites utilizing its maxilla solely, but its snout and teeth were simply poorly designed for gripping without injury. For spinosaurus, this is rather the opposite case. Both animals killed different animals is entirely different ways, thus it is unwise to believe that spinosaurus was weaker than allosaurus

Compare the skulls of spinosaurus and carcharodontosaurus here:

good chapter

i saw that one. I debated putting this one up today, there's some similar fights - yours and i think deltadromeus' - but i liked how this one turned out in the end. What do you guys think? second fight later today?

I like that you included Baryonyx since it's been assumed that iNGEN had bred Baryonyx.

and to address your point that allosaurus couldn't grip prey like spinosaurus did...Spinosaurus was an adapted FISH eater like other spinosaurs. No wonder it was better at gripping it's prey! allosaurus wasn't a fisher, so your point doesn't make sense to the argument.

I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, but c'mon man! give evidence..

Nice. I did a similar fight between Ceratosaurus and Utahraptor. Despite being more advanced than Ceratosaurus, the Utahraptor lost because the Ceratosaurus could take more punishment overall and lasted longer in heavy combat than the more lightly built Utahraptor.

Thanks guys. 

UCMP, Rudy was an abnormally large, albino Baryonyx.

Just because Spinosaurus had well constructed jaws, does not mean they had high bite forces or powerful jaws. Daddy Long Legged Spiders have extremely deadly and powerful veonom, but their fangs are so short they can't use it on hardly anything. Spinosaurus may have had well construced jaws/teeth, but if it's jaw/neck muscles weren't all that powerful, then it really didn't have much of a chance at having a high bite force/jaw strenth.

i'm not lazy, in fact i just searched for your 'good rostra they working  with'...nothing! you obviously ignored my post about finding NOTHING of it\'s body. absolutely nothing. You sir, cannot claim Spinosaurus was robust in any way shape or form.

I will give you this: conical teeth are good for gripping. But that's just an observation in toedays crocodilians. I'd love to see this mandible they found, instead of you just claiming it was found, provide proof?

Great fight and I was also rooting for Cryo.

I agree with UCMP 118742, what is going to be the role the Baryonyx. Still a great chapter.

Heavily-constructed snout (both rostrum and dentary inclusive)

Reasonable width and depth (not exceptional as we see in genera like tyrannosaurus or carcharodontosaurus), appearing to be for decent multidirectional strength

Thin jaws (for reducing drag in water)

Conical teeth that were very well designed for puncturing deeply and gripping

And, although not pertaining to the animal's actual snout morphology, long and powerful forearms that were ideal for grappling

All of these features suggest that spinosaurus hunted and killed large freshwater fish. This lifestyle is also evident in the surplus amount of such genera in its ecosystem (tropical plain environments). Not only does spinosaurus possess a fundamentally more robust morphology than animals well designed for killing (such as allosaurus for example, which would have been at an immediate risk of injury if it tried to grip a large animal in the same way that spinosaurus did), but the fish that it was specialized in killing were huge.

This doesn't need sources cited; just observe the morphology of spinosaurus yourselves instead of being lazy and asking me to do it myself (I have explained to you guys time and time again why spinosaurus did not have a weak snout!). I am using inference and observation to make theories and yet you guys always claim spinosaurus to be weak because "itt wass a week fishy-eeter!" You two need to try harder than that!

Actually, the lifestyle of spinosaurus suggests that strong jaws (note, I did not necessarily say \"powerful\") are a necessity. I have explained this to you over and over again! Unless you can provide evidence that spinosaurus did not have strong jaws, I cannot believe you. I have provided evidence as to why this is not the case, but yet you refute it and claim that \"it iss a oppinnion!\"

Quote: I think Giga was more built for killing than Spino, so it would have a thicker skull then Spinosaurus, so I included this pic.

See, this is what I am talking about. You claim that giganotosaurus had a "thicker" skull than spinosaurus but yet have no reason to believe that besides the claim that "gigan an is desined fore cilling! spino is not witch thus meens that spinosaurus had a weeker snout!"

The possession of a robust morphology is far more evident in spinosaurus than in giganotosaurus; I cannot stress this enough. Giganotosaurus possessed a very lightly-constructed skull that was only designed to be used for vertical killing and would most likely be damaged via stress fracturing if it tried to grip large animals. Spinosaurus did not possess this snout anatomy and was instead characterized by a particularly more robust snout (in terms of build) that was well designed for gripping without fracturing. There does not have to be sources for this for it to be correct.

Good Fight! I was rooting for Cryo

another good cliff hanger, take your time.

oye...i'm just tired of all these bogus claims. you can have opinions, but when you state something as  fact that has NO evidence to support it...i just can't take it seriously..

I wonder what role that Baryonyx is going to play.

Oh dear indeed. Everyone has their opinions, and that's not about to be changed by one guy who posts freaking books about lateral pressure and whatnot on a predator, that we know next to nothing about.

Good chapter, looking forward to the rest. I was wondering about the delay, that's fine.

You said this story is about the interactions between a Giga and a Rex (something like that, at least), so I'm really wondering how chapter 7 is going to go down.

This is what you made up, right?

I read it. watched it. commented on it.

Thanks for informing me!

(I know why I missed it, I was busy at crossiron that day... shame...) 

Cancer... Man. The worst thing on the earth... 

Just imagine what life yould be like, If he hadn't died at the turn of the melenium. 

(Also... I find it rather interesting most of this topics post are around the same point of time as pearl harbour... The day of infamy with a death of infamy....)

Furthermore, they haven'f found this things feet, or hands, or ANY part of it's torso. So, i'm assuming you made this up, or got it from a bogus source. I would love to be proved wrong, however

@godzillasaurus you mean the jaws that we have only found the lower jaw of? seriously? how can you claim it's jaws were so strong when you haven't found even the top jaw??

HELLO?! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE STOMPING LAND >:C

Thank goodness I have an Xbox one.

However what is the name of this new Jurassic Park game?

Oh... it's called jurassic world(NOT THE MOVIE) Here's a trailer for the game:

Ok. Well, I'm glad you changed it some. The Tyrannosaur won, and the Siats got what he deserved.

In this fight he beat out the zhuchengtyrannus originally, but the Siats untimately won. Doing some re-writing(as the original was sucky quality) the zhuchengtyrannus came out on top. Y'all have to wait for the winners and loosers of season two ;) Zhucheng and acro don't face off in season two, i'll tell you that much

That's fine. Originally for this fight Acro won, right? You don't need to give any losers for season two.

Sure. It's a link to the topic.

Bob Peck Tribute Topic

odd enough i had zhuchengtyrannus loose to the Acrocanthosaurus, and the Acrocanthosaurus was originally a small male...but i changed it, i edited out the 'he' and 'his' describing Acro..sorry for any confusion

It is just a theroy... The raptors talking part is from the comics, and due to lack of interest, wont be included...

(remember we almost ended up with human dino hybrids!!)

Also the sequel... No one knows what to expect

Also Mr.Happy What tribute? could you post a link pleasE?

If that's the case, I'm rooting for the Zhugeng Tyrant all the way.
