to be blunt, I could tell it was a rex just by looking at it. And then sure enough my boss said it was a T. Rex.  from the crest to the teeth and skull shape, it was pretty obvious it was a rex. So yeah, it was, just hasn't been fully described yet..

Spinosaurus was the largest at 13-15 tons, then giga and carchar at just under 9 tons, and then T-rex at 8 tons.

Youre fat, and I'm not sugarcoating it cause you'd probably eat that too.

Actually UCMP 118742 was estimated at 13.5 meters with the possibility of reaching 16 meters and about 15 tons (+- 2 tons) if it would've grown as old as Sue.

@jezza Spinosaurs were light weight animals. Personally, i see them getting to 9 tons MAX. But that's just personal belief. 

Good job Acro, list looks pretty good.

Thanks! @Primal, That's something to look forward to.

The list was Average weights, now the max. Honestly, i think people high ball theropod weights way to often.

Agreed. 20 ton spinosaurs? 16 ton Rexes? More like 7-8 ton spinosaurs and 10-11 ton Rexes tops. These guys still had to function....

UCMP 118742 was really a strange animal.
