To end this once and for all about spinosaurus

Great you pissed OFF PFG to.

You know you've done something annoying when you piss somebody off who's called 'Mr.Happy'

---What the hell is wrong with all of you people!? You can't have a full subforum about scientific dinosaur discussion if you claim that everything is an opinion. What do you want to make of that? Decide!

Quote: If you going to talk about it as a fact,show a complete skull.

---I already did this, and when I did so, I compared it to carcharodontosaurus firmly, in which case spinosaurus firmly possessed the more robust snout.

Yes, a complete skull that is half, if not more, plaster.

you have it's snout. minimal at best. You do not have ANYTHING else for you to claim fact. my god, are you this ignorant? or just a troll Godzillasaurus? we have been over this man....it is your theory. NOT A FACT! quit flaunting your ambiguous theories around when you have not provided proof that they are fact. in fact, you have completely ignored my sources for my claims...stuff that has been actually acknowledged by paleontologists. but you conveniently didn't read it. yes?

This is hilarious

i'm enjoying it ;)

I've been reading it since the beginning and it just keeps getting better and better

This is funny. Someone this stubborn going against multiple others who a different opinion than him that are just as stubborn is kinda funny. I'm having a good time when I'm not mad.

Glad to see that everybody has cooled down.

---Edit, I did in fact read it (earlier I couldn't). The problem is that it talks solely about vertical stress, nothing more. It is not inaccurate, just that it has nothing to do with what I am saying. Did I not already acknowledge that carcharodontosaurus' snout was designed for killing and was thus much stronger than spinosaurus' snout vertically? I firmly agree with that source, and it says nothing that contradicts what I am saying. 

Guys... Just FYI, we still have a few complete fossil snouts to work with, which just proves that you guys are full of shit even more

Notice how the only place where they could efficiently test the respective spinosaur rostra was the premaxilla of both species; specifically where it would have a relatively high breaking point in spinosaurus?

XD you don't have to download anything buddy.

I have a few problems with your paper. for one, it used jaw FRAGMENTS. not the whole jaw, or even the head. again, all of this is speculative at best.

The authors compared the Spinosaur jaw to gharials...which are mainly fish eaters. Their rostrum isn't robust at all. So the analogy there...is just not good. The Slender snouted crocodile is a poor one too.

The paper...it stated that Spinosaur resistance to stress or whatever is greater then all crocodilian species.....NO REALLY?! when it states that, it negates it earlier in the paper saying SPINOSAURUS had less resistance than a modern day ghraial...Who woulda thought that something as much as 10x a crocodiles size would have a greater...well anything? the paper is a poor source. sorry buddy.

--Well then why can I not read it?

---Because slender-snouted crocodilians are the best modern analogies for spinosaurus... Especially species like the false gharial and freshwater crocodile. Oh wait, but they also compared it and baryonyx to the American alligator too. So... yea...

Quote: The paper...it stated that Spinosaur resistance to stress or whatever is greater then all crocodilian species.....NO REALLY?!

-Uh, that is incorrect both scientifically and in terms of what the paper said. Can you tell me where exactly it claimed that?

Quote: the paper is a poor source. sorry buddy.

---I hope you realize that the paper that you posted about a week ago was written by one of the authors of the paper that I posted (Rayfield). You know that, right?

*sigh*  we're going in circles. For gods sake, just stop. my paper actually had accurate stuff in it. What the author was doing when he wrote your paper....i just don't know. MY paper was actually accurate and factual. IT takes effort to read a bloody paper bro. Simply kick on the damn link.

MY GOD JUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so freaking annoying!

This is still kicking? Holy s***, that's pretty f****** crazy. I agree, just stop it.

100! :D gotta be some sorta record, eh?
