Top 10 Strangest Dinosaurs 10. Tyrannosaurus rex- 50 ft long, 9 tons Over-sized head, huge body, tiny arms with only 2 fingers 9. Parasaurolophus- 33 ft long, 3 tons Huge 6 foot crest and duck like bill 8. Ceratosaurus- 25 ft long, 2 tons 4 fingered hands and 3 blade-like horns with massive overbite 7. Triceratops- 26 ft long, 5-6 tons Giant frill with 3 massive horns 6. Stegosaurus- 23 ft long, 2.5 tons Tiny head, short front legs with long back legs, spiked tail, and 17 thin plates on it's back 5. Dilophosaurus- 23 ft long, 1 ton Notched jaw and 2 thin crests 4. Guan long-10 ft long, 150 lbs Long arms and 3 fingers are strange for a tyrannnosaur. It also had a covering of feathers and a single crest on it's head 3. Spinosaurus- 56 ft long, 7 tons Unusually long arms and claws, long yet thin jaws, and giant 6 foot sail 2. Majungatholus- 25 ft long, 1.5 tons Tiny arms and ugliest face of all the dinosaurs. Often called the ugliest dinosaur ever by some, it is also often referred to as The T-rex Of The East. 1. Therizinosaurus- 36 ft long, 4 tons Long neck and tiny head, pot-belly, and 10 foot arms with 3 foot claws Sizes are based of my estimates. They are not that important to the post, just a good bit of info to have. Questions? Comments?

Or you could look at it like the tall kid is skinnier, say 130 lbs. The short kid could be stockier, say 140 lbs. Who weighs more? When scientists look at size, they go by weight. Tyrannosaurus seems more "stocky". Overall, more muscle and therefore, more weight. Long and lean is possible. So is short and heavy. In MY opinion, Spino is long and lean. Rex is short and heavy.

Somehow I knew someone would bring up the weight factor. :)

Well that's what I use to support my theory ;)

Here's what I'm trying to say. I don't think Spino was lighter or leaner than Rex. I think the size of their bodies were the same, but Spino's limbs, skull, and neck were longer. Hence, a tall kid with the same body structure as the short kid. I don't think Rex was heavier.

And I don't think Spino was heavier. I don't think we are going to convince each other one way or another. We've all got our own theories. I'm going to stick with mine and you can stick with yours :)

A 50 ft Tyrannosaurus is heavier than 9 tons :). 9 tons is for the 12.3-meters long "Sue". A 15m/50 ft Tyrannosaurus is possibly 11-12 tons . So, if you're rigth about Tyrannosaurus size, Tyrannosaurus was comparable if not larger than Spinosaurus (although shorter).

Spino is certainly the longest theropod. No doubt about that. Weight is hard to do though. For any dinosaur really. I think T-rex was heavier than Spino, but not as long.

Good list! For my money though, I think a pachycephalosaur deserves some recognition. Stygimoloch or the classic name sake. Just for the unprecedented boney head structures and the on going mystery behind their purpose. Suchomimus came to mind too because of the crocodilian snout, but that also applies well to Spinosaurus who also has the more unique sail. Good call there. I also couldn't help but notice no sauropods. The weight and length alone make them pretty unique, not to mention the necks.

tyrannosaurus rex meaured over 40 to 51ft long thanks for mentioning that and actually a 50 ft trex would probably weight around 13 tons

No known T. rex exceeded 43 feet, with Sue measuring 40 feet in axial skeleton length. Factor in discs and a tail tip, she's 41-42 feet.

I put my max sie estimates for these dinosaurs ;) Keep in mind I did say that they were my estimates. Raptorexxx, I see a 50 ft Rex weighing at least 9 tons, but 11-12 is not unreasonable(again, my estimates)

Spinosaurus is the #1. It is much much bigger than T-rex, not including the sail. Kinda reminds me of an oversized, bloodthirsty Ouranasaurus.

This is bizarre. Nothing to do with size, just strangeness, or if you prefer it, uniqueness. It's a reasonable list, and Spino did make the top three.

actually, the Guan-Long. it is not pretty weird. the early tyrannosaur is actually had long arm, the short arm of the tyrannosaur is developt at the early cretacoeous periode. and the Guan-Long lived in the mid Jurassic Period.

You're telling me this doesn't look a little weird?

Acctually........ Not so! as all the past comments, Guan-Long and other Early Tyrannosaur Species do have feathers, the early species is using it as the display or warm their body, it seems those crest is also used for display. and the long arm, just like my comment.the small arm is developt at more lately stage.

i feel like dracorex and amargasaurus deserved a place on this list

HEY, ever hear of UCMP 11874? Look it up, along with Andrea Cau's study on T-rex being 55 percent heavier than Spinosaurus and the recent 3D laser scans conducted on T-rex showing it was 30 percent bigger than originally thought, before you say stuff like that. It's all theories and opinions. No facts about it!

Indeed. Here's som links...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2048547/T-rex-bigger-grew-faster-thought-claim-experts-weighed-models-beast-3D-lasers.html

 

If Sue weighed 16,000 lbs by the original estimates, then she'd have really been 4,800 lbs heavier. And that's for a 42 ft long Rex. Some like UCMP 118742, C-Rex, and F-Rex may have been 45+ ft!

Nice article.Carnotaurus was pretty weird to,but it is very similar to majungatholus.Pegomastax was probably the most ugliest ornithropod.
