MemberCompsognathusAug-03-2014 4:53 AMMore misleading knowledge about Rex/Spino. And the amount of Rex fanboys are not helping. Anyways lets tweak this a bit shall we?
Tyrannosaurus Rex:
13m long
Weight 7-9 tons
Height 20ft
Advantages: Bigger bite force, sense of smell, denser bones,
Disadvantages: Tiny arms, slow,
Rex could bulldoze and tackle. Which makes it useful in fights with it's dense bones and hard skull. Also Rex just needs to get a good bite in and it could seriously injure/kill anything.
Spinosaurus:
17-18m long
Weight 11-13 tons (Planet dinosaur had it on average 12 tons) Height 23ft (without muscular sail)
Advantages: 6ft long robust arms equipped with 12-15 inch claws, 2-3 ton bite force which is enough for a kill if grabbed, Spino was faster due to it's large legs and where it's attached,
Disadvantages: Not a bigger bite force than Rex.
AND to add, this whole "sail" theory on Spinosaurus is debunked. Why? The space between the spines were too small to effectively span skin in between. The Spines were most likely a muscular spine similar to Acrocanthosaurus. Which goes to ADD extra strengh.
Now lets do the math. The Spines are a VERY large muscle attachment area and so it is greatly boost. Another thing, Rex can lift half a ton with its tiny arms and Acrocanthosaurus has arms 4X that are stronger than Rex's. Now equip this with Spinosaurus 6ft long robust arms and you got a deadly weapon that is fatal. We are talking about a force with well over 9 tons. Adding it with its mass/weight making the swing a fatal blow.
Just stating how robust/deadly Spino truly was. Quite a few Rex fans seem to discredit it and lack imformation about the creature.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-05-2014 6:13 AMYou know, these were posted a long time ago. I'm not kidding, refer to the date on the post, it says June 20, 2013. That was over a year ago. Things change in a year. People change their opinions in a few days sometimes, so look at the bloody date, and look at newer posts instead of this crap from over a year ago.
That said, call me a fanboy one more time and you've crossed the line.
Why don't you keep your posts consistant? In a previous post, you say Rex could lift 1.5 tons with its arms, and now you say .5 tons. That's a big freaking difference bud.
You sure seem to know a lot about Spinosaurus. Are you a time traveller or a fanboy? You say you aren't, but your posts tell a different story. Fanboys overpower anything to make it seem better. It would appear as though you're overpowering Spino. There's no proof Spino had 6 foot arms. Well, actually, though it's common sense, one could argue that there's no proof Spino had arms at all.
Respond how you will, I don't care, just don't call me a fanboy. That's a terrible way to get liked on this site. Look at the people on these forums. We get along, and we don't call eachother these bullsh!t names.

Don't even need to copy it because you continuously spout BS on Spinosaurus so there's no longer a point. C'mon, even you must see what you're saying is a bit ridiculous!
Now lets do the math. The Spines are a VERY large muscle attachment area and so it is greatly boost.
Where do you see muscle anchoring on these spines anywhere? or is this one of your 'facts' again?
Just stating how robust/deadly Spino truly was. Quite a few Rex fans seem to discredit it and lack imformation about the creature.
There you again with your personal attacs on rex fanboys. Yes, there are some. No need to state the obvious every time you post. Spinosaurs weren't incredibly robus animals, not at all. Also, i don't discredit Spino at all, only the half assed attempts at inflating the capabilities of it.
Your posts are inconsistant, your logic flawed, and no sources have been stated backing up your claims. And, with the kind of stuff you've been posting, it requires some decent evidence, consistancy(don't you think that's important?) and some sort of logic. I'm not going to let you get away with these claims unless i see hard evidence. Being a paleontological student at my university, and haviing taken part in speech and debate in High school, you won't get away with posts like these.

MemberCompsognathusAug-05-2014 6:41 PMFor the record, Planet Dinosaur said 11 tons for Spinosaurus, not 12 tons at all(especially as an average).

Let me get this straight, it's okay for YOU to call users fanboy but not you? totally fair. Lots of justice in that.
I made a typo. Is it that big of a deal? I got something else confused with Rex's arm lift. And to clarify, it's 0.5 tons
You people get along because the majority here are Rex fans. That is cold hard fact. While you go on more professional forums like Carnivora etc it's made of nothing but balance and factual scientific evidence.

You know, if you want to come at me/comfront me try doing it at a more mannered way. But then again, that may be too much or asking since that kind of stuff doesn't suit someone like you. And to top if off, MrHappy will just brush it off and point a finger at me. Whatever, i'll deal with the BS. You know for a University graduate, you got some horrible grammar skills. Hmm i'll guess you are a high school student.
1. Explain how it isn't. The space between the spines are too small for skin to grow.
2. Never said he was "incredibly" robust. So don't put words in my mouth. Explain how it wasn't and put something for me to counter with.
3. OH my, how scary of you! Trying to look impressive on a basic forum on the internet! Stop. You are embarrassing yourself.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-07-2014 6:14 AMAlright, you've made a point. Now, if this could go to a friendly debate, that'd be great. We don't need a repeat of last night.

MemberCompsognathusAug-07-2014 8:55 AMMr Alan grant, don't act like Carnivora is non bais. Say there was a recent post from mr.happy talking about spino the most over rated dino, those were some good points! On carnivoria everybody's is like OMG spino is so strong one claw swipe and is gg! And everytime somebody brings up a good rex point, on of the spino fans changes the topic to something like monsteres ressurected. So don't act like this forums is bias, and I bet 70 percent of spino fans didn't know anything about the spino until JP3!

MemberCompsognathusAug-07-2014 9:39 AMum, i didn't 'confront' you in any way, you just haven't posted sources for any of your claims!
C'mon, don't revert to insulting me because you can't respond with any sources! it's childish.
