Ekrixinatosaurus was rather small compared to this giant, it was more likely in the 7-9 m range.

Accordig to the later estimates, Deinosuchus was around to 7-10 m, same for Sarcosuchus. Both are about to the same size.

Thanks guys. I enjoyed spending the half hour writing it, and I'm glad you enjoyed.

OK then but I would say they would be the top predators of the water ways. But if I where to compare deinosuchus and the tyrannosauride to todays crocodiles and lions when they are on the beach witch neither one controls but they always fight over

<3 he must be the happiest Albertosaurus ever, good short story I liked it ;)

Seems pretty good. I do dub Titanovenator, who I've given the name Tarbovenator kenyanis. Terrible hunter of Kenya. Also, I think its about 8 tons while Ekrixinatosaurus was around 7. That's just my thought.

Interesting, I guess I can't deny that it had a hump, but I still think it got bigger. My size comparison to the arms of Deinocheirus and Gallimimus told be that it was around 38-40 feet long.

Ok. I don't know if I'd consider them the top predators, but they're up there. You're right, both Sarcosuchus and Deinosuchus were very similar in size and niche. I actually wrote a fight between Sarcosuchus and Spinosaurus, and another about Tyrannosaurus rex and Deinosuchus.

well my comparison is what niches they have if you look at the time period and there size it show that these where the top predators of there place and time also how two different species have the same adaption even thought they are million years apart and on two different continents.

Yeah, mostly,haha. We often agree on the most, especially when it comes to large theropods ;)

Thanks. Glad you liked the name and agreed with my thinking/estimates. I felt Tyrannovenator was too tyrannosaur sounding(despite Tyrannotitan), so I went with Titanovenator instead.

Interesting, Iagree with your estimations and thinking. I initially called it "Carnogigantus kenyanensis", but your name sounds better to me. Hmmm... it would be cool if we use Titanovenator as the abelisaur's name, until it's given an official new one.

DinoSteve, your estimates are nearly the same as mine, haha

Thanks. I tried to give more of an intro and a longer aftermath for the fight.

Nice. I think too Sarchosuchus is larger. Those are my estimations: Sarcosuchus- 33-43ft long (10-13m), 4,5-6,5 tons Deinosuchus- 33-40ft long (10-12m), 4-5,5 tons

I liked it actually. It makes it more human. But that could happen, who knows?

Yeah, Sarcosuchus is more crocodilian in design while Deinosuchus was more like an alligator.

Sarcosuchus- 33-43 ft(10-13 meters) long and 5-7.5 tons Deinosuchus- 30-40 ft(9-12 meters) long and 4.5-6.5 tons But still, we both agree that Sarcosuchus was larger. Now, what is this a comparison of exactly?

Nice. I like how you show the transition of apex predator from Albertosaurus to Tyrannosaurus. Good job.

Glad you liked it Al and DinoSteve How did you guys like the way the Delta woke it self up(splashing water on it's face)? I thought it'd be a nice little touch.

It usually takes a while for discoveries to be made public. Still not sure if it's a ornithomimid. If it's bulkier than others like Gallimimus and Ornithomimus, then it might be a therizinosaur(my theory). I always did think it was a herbivore though.

Here's a [url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/11/131104-dinosaur-hands-arms-body-mongolia/]National Geographic[/url] article on it. Apparently they found the two specimens in 2006 and 2009, which is pretty crazy since we are now just hearing about it.

That's nice. I think that the hump could help in food and water reserves, like in camels. Anyway, hope it's legit. PS- Delta, if it's legit, your dream of finding first a Deinocheirus skeleton is just gone ;)

Good fight RexFan, I was rooting for Albertosaurus. Also, I see you included a thinking of Deltadromeus while its head was bit by the tyrannosaur. That reminds me of the Tarbo vs hadrosaur picture ;) BTW, that's a very positice dinosaur. It just thinked "well, if that's gonna end, hope it does soon". I'd think something like ****** ******* *********** ********* **** then -------------------

Great. Very nice short story at the end.

Wow this is really cool. So it did turn out to be an Ornithomimid. I wonder what the hump was for? maybe they used it kind of like a camel uses its hump? I don't know either way this really cool.

Thanks Rex Fan I've enjoyed this fast moves battle, maybe with a couple of deltadromaues they could hurt a bit more to the Albertosaurus. Good fight.

Anytime Al, whatever it takes to help the newbies to the story.

:D Al got kids! And yes it will be easier to the rest of us follow the stories, like this one, thanks MrHappy.

Thanks. I tried to give him as much action as possible.

Great fight. Didn't expect delta to win, but he did better than I expected.

Al suggested it so that new members could read the story from the beginning without the difficulty of searching for it. I liked the idea, and think it will be useful for during New World

It was a good idea. It helps give a refresher to those who need it.

Any thoughts on Al's idea with posting the link to the first and previous part? Thanks guys

I know a lot, I'm not crazy, but I know a lot, and I have a nice .22. Dime size groups at about 50 yards, so I'm happy.

Haha, guess I'm just not a gun-nut. I like a good gun, but I don't go crazy over them ;)

That's just overall gun knowledge, and while impressive for a teenage Canadian, I probably don't know anything compared to a 6 year old Redneck.

:( Now I feel pathetic compared to you, haha JK

True, or one was injured.

I'd list Compsognathis as pistols, but..... aw hell, why not? Tac 45, Five Seven, Desert Eagle .44 magnum, .357 magnum, Smith and Wesson 500 in .50 Action Express, Python .44 magnum, CZ75 or Makorov.

Of course, but you could easily predict the winner(unless both died in a disaster of some sort).
