MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 4:52 PMMy predictions: Dacentrurus. Those 4+ foot spikes could slay a Tyrannosaurus.

Spinosaurus. It could slash the throat of or throttle D. carnegiei, judging by this
[img]http://oi48.tinypic.com/2mw79e9.jpg[/img]
Triceratops could pull off the win face to face.
Giga. It has weapons, not to mention killer instinct.
I say Tyrannotitan gets the exposed neck.
Mapusaurus. It uses its slanted skull to flip the much smaller Anky over.
Saurophaganax. It has speed, weapons, predatory instinct and hunted Stegosaurus in life.
Acrocanthosaurus has a 50/50 chance. If the Saurolophus tail clubs him by turning then crushes him, it wins. The Saurolophus has agility, power, size and a deadly bat for a tail if it rotates. The Acrocanthosaurus has weaponry, predatory instinct, intelligence and experience hunting similar sized prey (young Sauroposeidon)

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 6:26 PMSaurolophus was a hadrosaur! Why would it have a tail club?!
PS- T-rex lived with prey like Ankylosaurus and Triceratops. I think it could hold it's own.

Those 4 foot tail spikes could indeed slay a T-Rex. But it's all in the placement. For comparison (I like guns, so I shall use a gun comparison), a .50 BMG is huge (by Canadian standards at least), and a .22 LR is is tiny.
[img]http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lux6rhxNaW1r5ds8oo1_500.jpg[/img]
I don't have to label which is which I hope.
As you can see, the .50 BMG is much larger than the .22LR, and also much deadlier. Let's call the .50 BMG Dac's tail spike, and the .22 LR Rex's tooth. While deadlier, the .50 BMG would have to hit something important. The .22, would also have to hit something important. Personally, I would rather get shot in the foot with the .50 BMG than in the head with the .22 LR.
My money's on Rex for that one.

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 6:53 PMAnd, no offence GigaDino, but I hope you guys know that Dacentrurus was not nearly as big as you guys often say it was. It was a large stegosaur, but it's an estimated 23-26 ft long! Weighed about 3-5 tons. Comparable to Stegosaurus. Not 33 ft long and 8 tons.

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 7:03 PMI just did a little looking just to make sure, and the highest estimate I've found was 30 ft. But, that same site said Dacentrurus weighed only 2 tons. Every other site/publication I found was in the 20-26 ft range.

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 7:18 PMHey guys, back for a few moments.
Actually it was 10 m. There's a picture somewhere of a 1.5 meter wide hip. Stegosaurs are slim, so that's enormous. 10 meters enormous. The hips are fairly recent, so a lot of sites won't get em for a while, especially since Dac is so little known.
Announcement Coming Soon
Prepare yourselves, DinoFans!

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 7:40 PMI still don't know. Many of them mentioned large hip bones that were found. Even Wikipedia, a site I somewhat distrust but many believe in, mentioned it as being 23-26 ft long with a weight of 5 tons. Here's the exact words...
Dacentrurus was a large stegosaurid, some specimen have been estimated to reach lengths between 7–8 m (23–26 ft)[1][2] and to weigh up to 5 t (5.5 short tons).[3] Many books claim that Dacentrurus was a small stegosaur, when in fact finds such as a 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) wide pelvis indicate that Dacentrurus was among the largest of them.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexSep-23-2013 8:05 PMI had first heard of Dac being on the small side actually.
I can't be the only one that thinks that Rex picture looks like a bear, right?

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 8:06 PMDon't worry MrHappy, it does look a little bear like, haha

MemberCompsognathusSep-23-2013 9:28 PMI always knew that Dac was 23 feet, maybe a bit more. It shocked me when I first saw it as 35 feet on this site. And the T. rex looks like something fuzzy, but I don't think it looks like a bear.
Hi

MemberCompsognathusSep-24-2013 8:10 AMDacentrurus was 10 m actually, as we have some very large Dacentrurus's pubic hip
