MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-28-2013 2:50 PMNo clue. If I had to guess, I'd say about the same age range as Sue though, late 20's/early 30's at the most.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-28-2013 3:11 PMYes, based off the size. I could see Giga averaging slightly smaller than Sue, but getting to the size of those two.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-28-2013 3:21 PMIt could. That would be interesting to just how old those two were when they died.

MemberCompsognathusDec-28-2013 3:28 PMBased off of growth rings in the bones, size, and a number of other tactics, scientists determined that large theropods overall would probably live 30 years max. So, Giganotosaurus would have likely lived about 25-30 years.

MemberCompsognathusDec-28-2013 3:39 PMIt still may have been adult that just died before it reached its max age. Either way, assuming they were adults of full size, they were probably at least 25 years old.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexDec-28-2013 3:45 PMMost likely. I see the same age as Sue personally.

MemberCompsognathusDec-28-2013 3:50 PMWe can never know exactly. But my best guess is the same: 20-25 years when they died.
