GigadinoDinosaurs ForumMy Top Ten Longest Theropods Aug 31, 2013
My own is:
1. Spinosaurus 46-52 ft long / 14-16 m
2. Mapusaurus 40-44 feet long / 12,2-13,6 m
3. Giganotosaurus 41-43 feet long / 12,4-13,2 m
4. Carcharodontosaurus 40-43 feet long / 12-13 m
5. Tyrannotitan 37-41 feet long / 11,4-12,4 m
6. T.rex 36-40 feet long / 11-12,3 m
7. Chilantaisaurus 36-40 feet long / 11-12 m
8. Suchomimus 36-40 feet long / 11-12 m
9. Deinocheirus 33-40 feet long / 10-12 m
10. Bahariasaurus 27-40 feet long / 8-12 m

8 feet long? Nope, it's more like to 1,58 m according to new estimate by Hartman.

New animals for the heated world basically ate the plants and eveded predators better than the old ones. The new predators and new herbivores basically just killed off the old herbivores and carnivores. And the plants changed, so they also killed of the herbivores.

Okay, I always thought that spinosaurus had a head 8 feet long, but I guess you don't agree.
ReplyDeltadromeusDinosaurs ForumMy Top Ten Longest Theropods Aug 31, 2013
Okay, DinoFights that is very interesting, and that means that Spino would be by far the largest dinosaur. As for T. rex size, have we ever found the biggest of its species, ever? I bet the the very, very maximum a T. rex ever got is 45 feet long. That really goes the same for Giganotosaurus, but I think Giganotosaurus had an average of around 46-47 feet long. Going for Oxalaia, Saurophaganax, this also works, but I really didn't use that because I believe that they make it i that long sometimes, but not always. If Tarbosaurus was 40 feet and 4.5 tons, then a 30 foot Iguanadont named Lurdusaurus would be heavier then it at 5-6 tons.

ReplyGigadinoDinosaurs ForumMy Top Ten Longest Theropods Aug 31, 2013
Cool, but:
Tarbosaurus at 6 tons is likely too heavy. More like to 4.5-5 t.
Bahariasaurus at that length is likely heavier.
Saurophaganax is recently down sized from 13 to 11,5 m, as the homerus of the largest specimen is downsized from 545 to 480 mm.
The largest know T.rex is "Sue", and it was 12,3 meters long. Exist evidence for larger specimens, but these specimens were often made-up by fanboys and very unreliable, as they were so fragmentary.
Oxalaia is recently downized at 11-12 m by Holtz.
Giganotosaurus was rather 12,4-13,2 from the specimens that we have.
Spinosaurus was heavier at that length.
ReplyDinoFightsDinosaurs ForumMy Top Ten Longest Theropods Aug 31, 2013
Just a few criticisms, if I may.
T. rex likely was smaller than 45 feet. Most specimens centered around 10-11m as adults. Either Sue or C. rex are the largest known by a good bit, both around 12.8 meters and 7 tons when fleshed out, the next biggest being under 40 feet by a little bit.
Newer estimates say Oxalaia got downsized to 11.8-12 m, but newer isn't always better. Scaling from Irritator, which it may represent an adult form of, Oxalaia is around 46 feet so your measurements are fully within possibility.
Regarding 50 foot Giganotosaurus: my sister's doubting her scaling and measuring now, wondering if she made an error. Naturally, I grow doubtful as well, knowing she saw more of it than i did.
She really wishes she had studied the remains more in depth before selling them, and plans to buy a bone or two back soon or at least study them more. She may just be paranoid, though.
Lastly, I think you should bump up Spinosaurus in weight. I once told my sister Spino was probably 9 tons and I got a response like this:
*stops typing, looks at me and shakes her head slowly before resuming*
"Look at this Struthiomimus"
*pulls up skeleton image on laptop*
"It's an ostrich with a tail and long arms. So, let's say it's about 14 feet and weighs 330 pounds. Using basic square-cube scaling..."
*Looks at me for a moment in awkward silence, rolls eyes, does math, lectures me for being too lazy to do it myself*
"An 18 meter Struthiomimus would weigh a tiny bit over 12 tons. See how gracile this ornithomimid is?"
*shows me pictures*
*I nod*
"Now look at these spinosaurs"
*pulls up Suchomimus, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx and etc. skeletons*
"They are much more robust. A Spinosaurus at 17 meters wound weigh far more than 12 tons. Having a muscular ridge, heavier arms, a heavier skull, a heavier neck and an overall just much heavier build, I daresay 12 tons is conservative."
Other than that, this seems 100% agreeable.

Baryonyx was killed by the Carnotaurus in the first fight Delta.
ReplyDeltadromeusDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
Is there a way it could be changed to Baryonyx? It would be just the right size.
ReplyLord VaderDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
That's fine, just wondering, would have been interesting to see Sucho vs Spino in round 2 or 3 (or even 1) of the large division.
ReplyDinoFightsDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
Crap. I forgot to add the upcoming fight part at the end again... Anyway, next fight is Veterupristisaurus vs Siamosaurus.
The reasons Suchomimus wasn't removed is 1. I forgot the holotype Suchomimus was a subadult until after I scheduled it in
2. Sucho had already passed into the second round when I realized it was a little too big to compete
3. While big enough for large, it had a bigger version of itself competing, as with Oxalaia, in the form of Spinosaurus.
ReplyPie_Moose(Actually a Raptor!)Dinosaurs ForumGiganotosaurus size estimatesAug 30, 2013
The group of dinosaur is actually Carnosaur.

They need to have a spino in the background getting gang banged by 2 T.Rex
ReplyRex Fan 684Jurassic World ForumGiganotosaurus In Jurassic Park?Aug 30, 2013
Yeah, Tyrannosaurus is more powerful than Giganotosaurus, smarter, has better vision, etc. While Giganotosaurus would put up a good fight, it would take more than a single bite and a couple of slashes from it's claws to take down an adult rex.
ReplyRex Fan 684Dinosaurs ForumT-rex vs Gigantosaurus who would win?Aug 30, 2013
It would take more than a single bite to take down a fully grown Tyrannosaurus rex. T-rex is a lot more powerfully built, smarter, has better vision, ect. Giga is dangerous and would put up a fight, but Tyrannosaurus would probably be the victor 60-65 percent of the time. Giganotosaurus would win about 35-40 percent of the time.
ReplyRex Fan 684Dinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
Yeah really. If Ekrix was eliminated, why isn't Suchomimus?
ReplyLord VaderDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
If it comes down to Das and Yang, I'm rooting for Das.
Seeing that comparison, why isn't Sucho in the Large Divion? It REALLY strethches Medium, so I hope you find a way to eliminate it with a great fight. I can Das or Yang taking it out.
ReplyLord VaderJurassic World ForumGiganotosaurus In Jurassic Park?Aug 30, 2013
Two things Sniper.
First, it's ok, I understand what you're saying.
Second, it would take a lot more that a bite a some scratches from Giga to make a Rex bleed out. There isn't that much of a size difference. I think that one Rex was found and its one arm showed that it was ripped off, and the Rex named Stan, had a healed bite mark on its head where another Rex had bit it. I think it was deep too (not sure how deep though).

ReplyDeltadromeusDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
Suchomimus was lighter in comparison to everything else that could pose a problem. I guess Suchomimus is a very good competitor, and it would cause some real trouble, but I still think that Das and yang will meat at the end.
ReplyDinoFightsDinosaurs ForumYangchuanosaurus vs MedusaceratopsAug 30, 2013
Perhaps. But remember, Suchomimus is the biggest remaining competitor at 40 feet and 6.25 tons.
Adult Suchomimus and Sue

Great fight. Awesome bonus story. I guess it really is just down to Yangchuanosaurus and Daspletosaurus for best medium carnivore. Yutyrannus and Suchomimus will cause some problems, and so will Siamosaurus, but I think that Das and Yang can best them.

giganotosaurus:the super bite force is not much thing if the giga too fast for the t.rex(i mean that the giga could run 50km/h)and with its meat slasher teeth it dont need to get as close to the t.rex.it just need to bite it to make an enogh deep,bleeding wound and after that the giga just need to wait

If the park is set in the completed seaworldish setting, then I hope the dinosaurs break out thanks to the new carnivore and Ceratosaurus makes a cameo mauling and just straight up massacring a keeper.

Altispinax should have been its name instead of Becklespinax. Becklespinax just sounds ridiculous :D
I have no idea why a scientist would name it that. Sort of like pantydraco or dracorex hogwartsia
