so i noticed that there is a debate about what is the max size for tyrannosaurus spinosaurus and giganotosaurus and i studied all of these animals and here are my conclusions Tyrannosaurus X max confirmed length: 12.57 m ( MOR 008 ) max confirmed weight: 7.4 tons ( MOR 008 ) max estimated length: 14.12 m ( MOR 1126 ) max estimated weight: 8.6-9.8 tons Tyrannosaurus Rex max confirmed length: 12.3 m ( FMNH PR2081) max confirmed weight: 9.1 tons ( FMNH PR2081) max estimated length: 13.57 m ( MOR 1152 ) max estimated weight: 9.8-11.3 tons ( MOR 1152 ) BTW i recently found out that c rex ( MOR 1126 ) proportions were 100% X while f rex ( MOR 1152 ) is closer to rex than x that is why i put it here; Giganotosaurus Carolinii max confirmed length: 12.2 m ( MUCPv-Ch1) max confirmed weight: 6.8- 7.6 tons ( MUCPv-Ch1) max estimated length: 13.35 m ( MUCPv-95 ) max estimated weight: 8.2-9.8tons ( MUCPv-95 ) Spinosaurus Aegypticus max confirmed length: 14.3-16.5 m ( BSP 1912 VIII 19 ) max confirmed weight: 7-8.5 tons (BSP 1912 VIII 19 ) max estimated length: 17.8-18.2 m ( MSNM V4047 ) max estimated weight: 11.7-12.8 tons ( MSNM V4047 ) BTW the holotype speciemen ( BSP 1912 VIII 19 ) had an 85 cm long lower jaw maxilla while ( MSNM V4047 ) had a 92.3 cm long one pics: [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/archosauria/images/thumb/0/08/Giganotosaurus_vs_Tyrannosaurus.png/1000px-Giganotosaurus_vs_Tyrannosaurus.png[/img] [img]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spinocombo.jpg[/img] so that was it hope you liked it please leave your comments

Hmmm... I agree, I think only the Spino's a little too heavy. Nice comparison BTW

well dinosteve at first i thought so too but based on the thickness of baryonyx's and suchomimus's legs it would be around 12.8 tons especially because it lived 55% of it's life underwater

I still believe Spino couldn't get more than 8-9 tons. The rest 45% of its life would be spent out of the water. Don't forget that spinosaurids were light-built, if you take or not their leg thickness.

yes dinosteve you are right they are very light built but not like deltadromeus or bahariasaurus for example, plus an 17 m long tyrannosaur or giganotosaur would 25 tons +!!!!! so 12 tons for spinosaurus is not that big of a stretch

Wow, 25t for a 16m T-rex or Giga is exagerated, haha. The max. a 17m Rex would get is 14-17t!

I like this estimations. Good job. 25 tons would be huge for any bipedal land carnivore though, so 14 to 17 tons is good.

Careful how you word things raptorexxx ;) Decent estimates, although 25 tons is way too much for any bipedal animal. Let's be a little careful with Tyrannosaurus X shall we. It's technically not a recognized species and I've never seen anything published about it. Just saying.
