My opinion on Spinosaurus is that it could get to about 10 tons and 60 feet long at the most. I think that the fossil that was bombed in WW2 was one of, if not, the largest Spino that will ever be found. My reasoning is that it was found in poor condition, and may have been the only one that was strong enough to survive the millions of years in the desert before it was discovered. I think Spino may have averaged around 50-53 feet long, and 7-8 tons in weight.

I use more of a weight plus height plus length. Remember I made a discussion on it.

@Rex Fan -- Maybe Spino DID weigh more than Rex. In that case, he would be bigger in [i]your[/i] standards, too. This is all opinion, and we can only speculate and estimate the weight based on the skeletons and such. Who knows? Just because Rex is more compact doesn't mean he was heavier. (Haha, we went all out on this debate in my post a while back about Spino vs. Rex. :) )

Yeah, so let's not do that again. It'll just be the same thing all over again. Now, I'm not saying Spino did not weigh more than Rex. If he did, then yes, he would be bigger. But I don't THINK he did, so he's smaller. In my opinion. Either way, Spino certainly holds the record for longest land predator at around 56 ft, give or take depending on who you're talking to.
