MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 9:51 AMSo what are the best dinosaur match ups that really took place are the best? Let's find out(note, all species are used once. For example, Allosaurus vs Stegosaurus and Allosaurus vs Ceratosaurus will not both be on the list).
10. Tarbosaurus vs Therizinosaurus
[img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121013190152/dinosaurs/images/5/57/Therizinosaurus_vs_tarbosaurus.jpg[/img]
This clash of titans would have been awesome to watch. However, it's not very well known to the general public, that's why Tarbosaurus vs Therizinosaurus is number 10 on the list.
9. Daspletosaurus vs Gorgosaurus

Gorgosaurus vs Daspletosaurus would have been an epic clash of tyrants. Both tyrannosaurs lived side by side and would have competed for the same food source. Like Tarbosaurus vs Therizinosaurus however, these fights aren't too well known to the general public. But it still deserves a spot on the list at number 9.
8. Majungatholus vs Majungatholus

A clash of cannibals! While not well known outside the world of paleontology, this battle certainly deserves a spot on the list.
7. Acrocanthosaurus vs Sauroposeidon

One of North America's largest dinosaurs vs the top predator of it's time. Acrocanthosaurus was built to take on giants like Sauroposeidon, but Sauroposeidon was no sitting duck and this battle would have been intense.
6. Utahraptor vs Gastonia

Gastonia was a prehistoric tank with a chainsaw tail and Utahraptor was the largest raptor we know of. This really was a brain vs brawn situation and earns it's spot on the list.
5. Spinosaurus vs Carcharodontosaurus

This is perhaps the closest we'll ever get to Tyrannosaurus vs Spinosaurus. But this clash would still have been impressive. A true clash of titans.
4. Giganotosaurus vs Argentinosaurus

One of the largest land predators vs one of the largest land animals. Giganotosaurus vs Argentinosaurus is possibly the greatest sauropod vs theropod situation ever.
3. Velociraptor vs Protoceratops

Not all of the greatest dinosaur battles were on such a large scale. Some were between somewhat small dinosaurs. With fossil proof of this battle taking place, Velociraptor vs Protoceratops is one of the best known dinosaur battles known.
2. Allosaurus vs Stegosaurus
[img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/images2/i/2004/01/6/4/Stegosaurus_vs_Allosaurus.jpg[/img]
Disney's Fantasia brought us Tyrannosaurus vs Stegosaurus. Real life brought us the next best thing, Allosaurus vs Stegosaurus. One of the best documented real life encounters between dinosaurs, the age old rivalry of Allosaurus vs Stegosaurus is one of the greatest dinosaur match ups ever.
1. Tyrannosaurus vs Triceratops
[img]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/036/0/e/tyrannosaurus_vs_triceratops_by_dustdevil-d4oqjc8.jpg[/img]
Ever since the first T-rex and Triceratops fossils were pulled from the ground, stories and reconstructions detailing the fights between these two giants have persisted. When one thinks of dinosaurs, this clash is one of the first things they think of. Tyrannosaurus rex vs Triceratops is without a doubt, the ultimate clash of titans.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 2:51 PMThanks guys. This list was actually pretty hard to come up with.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 2:58 PMI understand. In my top 10 underrated I had a hard time choosing the right dinos from so many species. Also, it has taken something like 1-2 hours to write. :)

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 3:02 PMThis one was actually a case of trying to find enough dinosaurs. There were some that fought other dinosaurs(Rex vs Anky and Allo vs Cerato for example), but I did not wanna repeat species.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 3:23 PMYeah, I know. Also, when I saw Majungatholus vs. Majungatholus I was a bit surprised: o_o"

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:08 PMNice list. No suprise that Trike vs rex was first. I do think that Sinotyrannus vs Yutyrannus should have been one of them.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:10 PMI was debating on putting that or the Das vs Gorgo one.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:14 PMI would say Das vs Gorgo is too me sided. Das at a max of 35 feet long and 5 tons while Gorgo I think makes 30 feet max and 3 tons. Also, Das is practically a small T. rex, bite is super strong, basically, Das is a tank while Gorgo is a race car.
Rex Fan 684
MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:17 PMWell, size does not always matter. Giga vs Argentino and Acro vs Sauro for example. Gorgo has speed and agility, while Das has strength and size. I think it'd be a good fight.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:21 PMWell, Giganotosaurus and Acro are dead without packs, and unlike Sauropods, Daspletosaurus is acustom to having though fights, so the smaller Gorgo will be at a size disadvantage, even if it is faster. It has a chance, but I'd say maybe a 33:66 chance of Gorgo winning, and a 10:90 chance of Das completely owning Gorgo.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:28 PMWell, Ceratosaurus has a good chance at beating Allosaurus despite a size difference. Same goes for Spinosaurus vs Carcharodontosaurus.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexNov-17-2013 8:32 PMThere isn't much of a size difference between Charcar and Spino (using my Spino theory), but I see what you mean with Allo and Cerato, would be one hell of a fight.

MemberCompsognathusNov-17-2013 8:42 PMThere isn't much size difference between Gorgo and Das either ;)
Gorgo- 26-30 ft long and 2-3 tons
Das- 30-33 ft long and 3-4 tons(I personally don't think Das got much higher than 4 tons).

MemberCompsognathusNov-19-2013 11:20 AMI espexcted that T.rex vs Trike was first, but I'm disagree about this. I think that Composgnathus vs Juravenator would be cooler.

MemberCompsognathusNov-19-2013 3:56 PMThis list was more about the "popular" clashes. Besides, that clash would be too small. V-Raptor and Protoceratops is about as small as you can get and still have it be epic.
