A new dinosaur would be cool. Based on Rex Fan's depiction of it, it would be just as big as Rex, but not as strong a skull. Don't know about the test of it. How would you tell your sister we wish her good luck? Maybe"My Internet friends wish you good luck on the dig."

Oh, and I feel the carcharodontosaurs and allosaurs are close enough to be classified together.

Anytime. The Carnegie Museum has a really cool exhibit called Dinosaurs In Their Time. Really awesome.

Nice. Thanks for adding the pic

Not sure if they would hunt together. They may have ignored each other completely. They probably had different diets that way they could avoid conflict. Carchar probably fed on large dinosaurs while Spino hunted fish, small dinosaurs, and fed on carrion. Of course Carchar would have eaten carrion as well. If they did fight, Spino would have used it's claws to swat it's enemy while Carchar would have used it's teeth and the slash and dash method.

This is what I think it will look like... [img]http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/258/a/f/tyrannotitan_by_giganotosaur-d49y8ub.jpg[/img] I'm guessing a size of 46 ft long and 7 or so tons.

There are a lot. Dinosaur Planet has some awesome graphics and it focuses on dinosaurs that are not very well known to the public(aside from Velociraptor and a cameo appearance by Tyrannosaurs). Once I saw it, I immediately became fascinated with Aucasaurus and Tarascosaurus.

I haven't seen it yet, but I would like to. So many dinosaur documentaries and series to watch...

I'll be sure to tell her that.

I messed up with the first pic. White Tip is on right, Blue Brow is on left.

I wish your sisters team the best of luck dinofights :D

Tyrannosaurus is still and always will be my favorite. However, if this carnivore is indeed a new species, it may be my favorite South American dinosaur. My current favorite from S. America is probably Aucasaurus. Cool, yet underrated, dinosaur. However, this new beast is quickly gaining my interest.

Still would be cool if it ended up as a new dinosaur, as much as I love Giga. Hope it is so we have something new to talk about until 2015 lol ;)

Oh, you did not say that earlier. Makes sense now.

That's why they think it was a Purussaurus skull. It was in a different sediment layer, much closer to the surface and about 120 feet away from the others bones. It was much closer to the fish and crocodile bones.

PS- Added Styracosaurus and Utahraptor to my site ;)

I have been to: The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh Pa, The Museum of Natural History in NYC, The Museum of Natural History in Baltimore, and The Smithsonian in DC. The Royal Tyrrell would be cool to visit. The museum in Denver Colorado would be pretty nice to visit as well.

Hoping the image works this time. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Royal_Tyrrell_Black_Beauty.jpg

The terrible tyrant, catchy. I still like Austrotyrannus- southern tyrant, Tyrannosuchus- tyrant crocodile, but Deinotyrannus is good too, haha. I hope they find a skull, assuming it is a Purussaurus skull. I do want to mention something though, what would a Purussaurus be doing in rock containing dinosaur bones? Purussaurus a little less than 10 million years ago. Long after the dinosaurs died out. Seems to me that the "Purussaurus" skull, may indeed be a dinosaur skull.

Let me stress that the skull is only thought, not confirmed, to be that of a Purussaurus.

Spinosaourus

I think T-Rex is more popular than Spino because for years, T-Rex was accepted as the king. T-Rex was seen as the biggest, meanest, most badass predator of them all. Then in 2001, a new carnivore that hardly anyone has heard of, comes in and kills the king. I don't think Spino was accepted and loved the way T-Rex was because we knew so little about it (and still do). We are still learning about Rex, so Spino will most likely have his time in the spotlight, but may never be as popular as T-Rex just because T-Rex has been, and still is, accepted as king of the dinosaurs.

That episode that the pic is from shows "Mess with my kids, you mess with hell." That is a good point though.

Yeah, Tyrannosaurus is without a doubt, in my opinion, the strongest predator yet. Many scientists agree with that as well. Peter Larson stated in Jurassic Fight Club that Tyrannosaurus was so strong that there was nothing, NOTHING, that could escape it, if it decided it wanted to eat it.

That is true that swimming would be good for Spino. Did you look at the picture of the T-Rex skull compared to the Giga skull? I made this more focusing on the bone structure of Rex and Spino, not size or lifestyle theories.

Exactly. When I started the site, I thought that dinosaur contemporaries deserved some attention, but it is a dinosaur site after all ;

wellll swimming is proven to be the best excersize since your using almost all of your muscles, and having to hold your breath for a long time should increase your stamina quite a bit ;)

Like I said, behavior is never goin to be truly understood completely when it comes to dinosaurs. Unless someone get's a time machine, we will never know.

That is good reasoning, and if it is dinosaurs, you would expect more dinosaurs.

Thanks, I don't plan on having as many non-dinos as dinos, so I figured I would divide them into environment instead of family.

We know that Spino would have to fight for it's food at least sometimes. Between the giant sail, the overall size, and maybe the ability to change the sail colour, I think that it would have intimidated it's opponents most of the the time.

Let's not get into size shall we. I'm starting to think things like this should not be discussed. Understanding how something that has been dead for millions of years is truly impossible.

uhhh, Spinosaurus did have to fight for its food with something a lot bigger than trex and had a bigger bite force than trex, which was sachosuchus. It also had to fight Charcarodontosaurus, which was also bigger.

I checked as soon as I read that. Nice touch with the Air-Borne and Aquatic sections.

I was thinkin of puttin it on my site, but decided against. Decided to use it as my cover pic instead. Glad you like it. A dinosaur and media section would be interesting. I'll look into it. I reorganized the non-dinosaur section and added a new pterosaur.

You've already told us in multiple discussions, and it is pretty obvious when you give the facts and your beliefs. Nice cover pic too. I thought you said it was going on you're website. You might have to do Dinosaurs and Media section on you're site.

I think you are right MrHappy, haha. You don't have to guess what mine is, lol

Something tells me your favourite dinosaur is Gigantosaurus Makaveli.

T-Rex obviously, nothing beats the King and let's face it, when most people think of dinosaurs the first one that comes to their mind is a T-Rex. second that would be a Triceratops, perhaps the most famous armored herbivorous dinosaur second to that of Stegosaurus. An aquatic Attraction would be a Leopluradon for me.

I think T-Rex and Spino would be the main attraction no matter what (unless there is a Megalodon, and even then).
