I know lots of other discussion are just like this, but I am trying a different way of comparing them. Advantages: Rex- Huge bite force, binocular vision, sense of smell, intelligence Spino- Huge arms, huge claws, more intimidating (appearance) Disadvantages Rex- Tiny arms, slow, if it fell, it would likely die Spino- Weak jaws (by comparison), slow, likely death if it fell Uniqueness Rex- Oversize head, tiny arms Spino- sail, huge arms for large predator, swimming Known for Rex- King of the dinosaurs, one of the largest carnivores Spino- Beat Rex in JP3, sail, bigger than Rex How is this? Are my thoughts reasonable? Feel free to make any corrections, add something, and enjoy.

Quote: I just dont understand why some scientists say that trex is likely stronger in comparison. -That is because it was much more heavily-built than spinosaurus. I say again, spinosaurus, despite having very robust and strong jaws, was designed to eat fish primarily. Its jaws and teeth alike were not designed for crushing but rather gripping. Tyrannosaurus, on the other hand, had both wider and deeper jaws in relation to length, telling us that it was designed for crushing. Spinosaurus was very strong in rostral, mandibular, and dental build. But it was designed for piscivory and gripping, not crushing.

While I agree with what has been said, Rex vs Spino is dead. There's no other way of saying it. Team Rex and Spino would not give up on their theories (no matter how crazy), so we stopped discussing it.

Okay, im almost to my breaking point, Godzillasaurus. And after what you just said about my comment just brought it much closer. That is NOT a fact by any means, that is your opinion. I state the obvious things a LOT on here but almost nobody believes them because they really cant let go of trex being thier childhood hero. Its a bit like how somebody can have a status they didnt deserve in the first place. People had already made a reputation about trex before spinosaurus ever came into the picture, which wasnt too smart in my eyes. As far as wieght and strength goes, look at some of my previous comments on this discussion and discussions before this one.

I'm sorry S-Rex, but you just brought ME to MY breaking point. Let's get this straight first, EVERYTHING IS OUR GOD DAMNED OPINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not say this enough, REX VS SPINO IS DEAD, DEAD I TELL YOU! YOU get pissed off at us when we say s*** isn't our opinion, and when people say something negative against Spino! and then YOU turn around and say you are "Stating the obvious," and that we can not "Let go of T-Rex being our childhood hero." "People had already made a reputation about T-Rex before Spinosaurus ever came into the picture, which was not too smart in my eyes." Well guess what? How the F*** were people supposed to know that a 60 foot long predator was going to be discovered years later? When you find a bipedal creature that is forty feet long and upwards of 7 tons, who the F*** expects to find something BIGGER!? You can have your opinions, and we respect that as long as you respect ours. Now then, I know that you HATE Rex, so I'm going to end on this: Just deal with it. More people like Rex, and that may never change, so deal with the fact that people have different opinions than you.

@Spinosaurus Rex. Dude, really? Tyrannosaurus, based on its very wide and heavily-structured rostrum and robust spike-like dentition implies that it was designed for crushing and causing massive vertebral damage on impact. Spinosaurus was not designed for this killing strategy but rather precise biting and/or head shaking. Spinosaurus was not designed to crush thick skeletal structures, as its snout was thin by comparison and was clearly designed to snatch large fish from the water, and its teeth (although very robust and spike-like themselves) were conical and clearly designed to puncture deeply into the hides of other animals. I am a spinosaurus fan myself (it is my favorite dinosaur), but I am by no means a fanboy. I still respect the power of other dinosaurs and in some cases the superior weaponry possessed by them. Spinosaurus was so much larger than tyrannosaurus, but it was certainly nowhere near as heavily built… Come on now; that is not an opinion at all.

Don't bother Godzillasaurus, he won't listen. It's stating that Rex was stronger than Spino, he will see it as biased and BS.

At trexes time, there were not many kinds of dinosaurs discovered yet! Of coure people should have expected something to be even bigger than it, its just that many people are too stupid to look at it that way! Im sorry for snappin at ya, but it was the way you had your wording. Just look back at your wording. I dont think ive ever seen you on this forum, but either way if i have or not, you have to make it sound as if its your opinion. I know i did the same you did and im sorry, ok? Today i just snapped for some reason. Now back to the subject, the reason i think the way i do of spino is because there has only been one skeleton found, partial at that, but it was enough to say it was at least 60 ft. in length. So that led me to believe that there were even bigger ones than that due to only being one skeleton found. Now you are not going to tell me that there werent possibly bigger ones than that for there only being one found right? And you have no idea that trex was more heavily built because again with the partial evidence of spino. Ill explain more of my reasoning in a profile text

Lord Vader

MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-23-2013 7:08 PM

I have an opinion of my own regarding the one fossil that was discovered. What I think is that the fossil found was the only one that was heavy enough to survive the Sahara for millions of years, and I believe that Spino averaged at 50-52 feet.

Sands change dude, wind blows at it and someone was fortunate enough to find a skeleton where the wind hand unearthed it, wieght would have little to do with it. Im sorry, it was you that made that comment, i didnt look at who posted it, i just assumed it was godzillasaurus. But im sorry about getting snappy, today has been a little pushy for me for getting ready for Christmas

MemberCompsognathusDec-23-2013 7:37 PM

The first(and only skeleton) of Spinosaurus implied a length of 46-50 ft. Only recently were estimates of 60 ft given!

 

Spino Rex, I've tried being the nice guy. Obviously that ain't gonna work. You wanna play that game? Fine by me! Pretty soon, all hell will break loose!

Sorry about that S-Rex. You kinda hit my breaking point with the "Stating the obvious" and "Childhood hero remarks.

I have a pretty high breaking point so you know you've pissed me off when I start to go off.

That works too.

 

Like I said, I can be nice. But when you get me ticked off, it's gonna be a while till I cool down(and even then you'll probably wanna watch what you say around me).

I will then. Not sure what else to say, notice the sudden comment explosion. I think that my Utahraptor/Spino fight was pretty good.

Sorry Spino Rex, but the thing is, we shouldn't have had to go there in the first place.

Sorry S-Rex. Hones toy, I would have let it slide, and the I read the "Stating the obvious" and the "Childhood hero" remarks, and as if that wasn't enough, the "Title it doesn't deserve" remark REALLY ticked me off. So I'm sorry for that.

But i didnt go to that extent. Pictures never even crossed my mind, and if they did, i never would have done it, partially because i never even post pictures, lol, but i never want to express things through picture because they are too harsh. Perhaps now is a good time to change my profile pic...

MemberCompsognathusDec-23-2013 8:19 PM

I accept your appologies and i give mine again.

Lord Vader

MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-23-2013 8:20 PM

I think so. I tried to explain it to you one time, but the picture didnt work. Sorry about that too though.

How bout if this topic is ever brought up again( I don't care who brings it up) we just ignore it? I don't want another war taking place because I KNOW it won't end well.

 

This is my last word on the matter

 

Rex Fan out

I think the spino in jurassic park showed more resemblance to oxalaia, well in size anyway, and a side note spino was 7-23 tons.
