hi i have been studying the musculature of these creatures for a long while, so these are based on my estimates hope you like it! 10. acrocanthosaurus [img]http://www.csotonyi.com/Acrocanthosaurus_atokensis.jpg[/img] 8,000-9,000 lbs per square inch 9. carcharodontosaurus [img]http://www.csotonyi.com/Carcharodontosaurus.jpg[/img] 4,000-9,300 lbs per square inch 8. giganotosaurus [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/327/9/7/giganotosaurus_by_monopteryx-d33golo.jpg[/img] 8,000-9,600 lbs per square inch 7. yangchuanosaurus [img]http://s.cghub.com/files/Image/150001-151000/150752/952_max.jpg[/img] 8,700-9,760 lbs per square inch 6.spinosaurus [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090905013608/prehistoric/images/6/66/Spinosaurus.jpg[/img] 6000-9,800 lbs per square inch 5. triceratops http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/116/1/7/triceratops_lane_by_cheungchungtat-d4xlwka.jpg 6,700-10,700 lbs per square inch 4. tyrannotitan [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uxim542qj6o/TLDMHUlCeRI/AAAAAAAAAJo/bP3uopQRW90/s1600/tyrannotitan.jpg[/img] 6,700-12,000 3. zhuchentyrannus and tarbosaurus [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/259/e/7/zhuchengtyrannus___tarbosaurus_by_alexandernevsky-d4a114z.jpg[/img] 11,000-16,0000 lbs per square inch 2. torvosaurus [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130328165815/dinosaurrevolution/images/6/6e/Dinosaur_Revolution_Torvosaurus.jpg[/img] 11,000-18,000 lbs per square inch 1. Tyrannosaurus rex [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130214183129/dinosaurs/images/5/54/ImagesCAWDR3L4.jpg[/img] 6,800-19,000 lbs per square inch p.s. sorry i messed up some estimations but i just updated and it's only ten now but i see that dinosaur musculature in general is greatly underestimated as the difference between alligator and dinosaur musculature are very different plus even if some dinosaurs have weaker muscles in relativity but are much bigger

I agree with much of your list. Only the Allosaurus seems to me not being in the right place.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you in the slightest. Okay, first of all, Nanotyranus is only 17 feet long and has a bite of 900 lbs, no 7000. Bahariasaurus should have been replaced by at least Tyrannotitan, who I believe has a stronger bite than Giganotosaurus. Daspletosaurus should have a bite around Giga's, and above the Carch's. basically, it could use some work

Woah. I think I agree with your earlier entries, but your later ones get crazy. A T. Rex packing a near 12 t bite force? That's [size=50]twice[/size] the power of modern estimates. I think somewhere in your middle ground of Torvosaurus is reasonable. Around 6-7 t. I think T. Rex reached 6.5 t psi at 40 feet, which is the size of a large Tyrannosaurus.

I still have not seen any articles talking about Torvosaurus bite force estimates. If anyone finds one, let me know. I'd be happy to read it. Until then, I still think T-rex had the highest bite force and that seems to be the most commonly accepted theory.
