MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 11:17 AMSome of you may have already read this, but for those who haven't, I'd say that this is a very interesting page. I haven't read all of it yet, but I had to read over and over again the part about a Torvosaurus. Just see for yourself. I'm not sure when it was written, but I think around 2004 or later, so kinda recent

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 11:40 AMJust read it. Very interesting article. It could prove Torvo was maybe as long as Sue, but I still think not as heavy ;)

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 11:41 AMI think Torvo is about 7 tons instead of a good 9. But still, that means a bigger skull. I think it bites with about 5 tons of force. Tarbo and Torvo both have kinda thin skulls, and Torvo, being a Megalosaur, has a pretty bad bite. I bet that they could do about the same amount of damage.

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 12:23 PMYay! I always thought Torvo could get up to around 35-40ft this at least gives me some support Torvosaurus is slowly becoming one of my favorite dinos.

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 2:01 PMThe skull on this paper isn't 1,58 m. Try to measured it - it's "just" 1,2 m!

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 2:29 PMThey're right Delta, the skull seems to be most likely in the 120-130cm range

MemberCompsognathusOct-25-2013 10:55 PMTorvosaurus was, in my book, no bigger than 36 ft in length and 4 tons in weight. A massive predator and one of the largest from the Jurassic, but not T-rex sized. Most estimates put it(including the European species) at no more than 36 ft as well.
