T-Rex/Spinosaurus comparison

Tyrannosaurus did not necessarily have an oversized skull, just a very heavily-built skull. Spinosaurus actually had the longer skull of the two, although it was much shallower and thinner dorsally. I am talking about when spinosaurus is larger than tyrannosaurus, of course, as skull lengths are determined by an animal's size and head-body proportions.

Godzillasaurus, T. rex did have one of the biggest haeads proportionately. Spino did have a longer skull, but Size doesn't determine the animal's skull length. Take Giganotosaurus. It probable had a head of 6 feet while 46 feet long, but Spinosaurus only had a head of 7 feet at 60 feet long. 1 foot difference head, 15 foot difference body. There isn't that big of a jump with T. rex. Its skull is about 5-6 feet long, at 42 feet. Only one foot difference with three feet difference.

I wasn't talking about proportions; I was talking about an animal having a larger skull due to larger size. Giganotosaurus and carcharodontosaurus had paritcularly longer skulls proportionally than tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus, but that does not mean a bigger spinoaurid or tyrannosaurid will have a smaller skull. That is what I meant. Size does not determine proportions

Right, but you where sadeter body size deteremains skull length, and that's not exactly true either. Partially true, but not 100% spot on. 

Proportions and size both determine skull length. Size as a whole does not do so, but that in conjunction with head-body proportions does. An example would be a similarly-sized carcharodontosaurus and tyrannosaurus; the allosaur would have a much larger skull.

I'm with Delta on this one, and we all know each others opinions. I personally think that Spino maxed out at 60 feet, but averaged around 50 feet. I think Rex averaged 40 feet and maxed out at around 45 feet. Let's not get into overall size, we all have DIFFERENT opinions on this topic, and it was a bloody stalemate, which is why we decided to kill the topic.

So Rex vs Spino is dead, it's nice that you have your opinions, but let's not get into which is bigger, that's what pisses people off (not to mention getting the regulars to swarm the topic).

So please, no more Rex vs Spino. Sound good?

Did what I say there just go in one side of your brain and out the other? Its literally the comment before yours. We all know this stuff, and we have all stated it at one point what we think would happen. The only Rex vs Spino discussions that were posted recently are by people who signed up recently, but as I've said countless times, Rex Vs Spino is dead, it's a stalemate between members, so we stopped.

MrHappy is right. And also, why are so many people coming back to these older posts?

No idea. Probably because these are the first ones that appear.

Perhaps that's it.

Thank you, for both agreeing with this list, and not stating any opinion on which would win.
