Torvosaurus Tanneri

Torvosaurus is pretty cool. The Torvosaurus in DD9097MS does quite well for herself, but I won't say how well.

one of my personal favorites. Can't wait to see how well she does!

I gave the dinosaurs all different reasons to fight, so quite a bit of DD9097MS is the competitor's motivation. I actually realized that rather recently. 

Torvo is one of my favourites too.

Ceratosaursu remains my favorite Jurassic dinosaur, but Torvosaurus ain't too bad. I do think Allosaurus is too mainstream and overrated(then again my favorite dinosaur is T-rex, haha).

Who cares if things are mainstream? My favourite Jurassic dinosaur is Torvo, and my top 3 favourites are all Tyrannosaurs (The King, The Alberta Lizard, and The Alarming Lizard, in that order).

Torvosaur has always been one of my favorites after the usuals like Rex, Giga, and Spino.

And I agree that Allosaurus is a bit overrated.  I'm not really sure why they got so popular over dino's like Torvosaur.

Simply because everyone knows what Allosaurus is. In all honesty, untail dinosaur revolution, I didn't know what Torvosaurus was.

Nice information. I like the picture chosen, as well.

I like the picture as well! keep these up.

I agree that its because people know Allosaurus, but I just don't know why it got popular over other theropods.  I like Al, but I'm just curious why it was made more popular over other dinos.

It was a lot more common than any other large european theropod. I think that the other large theropods either didn't live in packs at all or only on very rare occasions, so Allosaurus had an advantage over them. My personal favourite from the jurassic is Saurophaganax.

Ive always known about Torvosaurus, because they a have a Skeleton at the Museum where I work and have gone for a long time. It and Cerato are tied to be my fav Jurassic animals. Also about the European version being larger, there is a new skull and some vertebrae that surfaced that my boss showed me, and its a game-changer. Its put at 40 ft long and found in Utah. So, it might have been just as large.

Torvosaurus is one of the most undderated theropods of all time. The american one isn't much, about the size of your standard allosaurus. But the Portuguese specimens, they're enormous. And this 40 foot one from Utah is talking about, is indeed a game changer.

That would mean that Torvosaurus was the largest theropod in North America at that time (unless i'm forgetting about something really obvious, which is pretty probable). I first heard about Torvosaurus in a wierd anime that was basically pokemon with dinosaurs. I loved it when i was younger. 'Dinosaur King', if you're interested.

next to Edmarka, and Saurophaganax Maximus and Epanterias Amplexus, which i regard As Allosaurus Maximus and Allosaurus Amplexus respectively.

Interesting, i personally think that Saurophaganax was a seperate species, but i'm not so sure about Epanterias.

Looking at your guy's conversation, I know little about dinosaurs...

I felt exactly the same way when i first stumbled across this forum. I have learned a lot in the last couple of months.

Hm. I have been on this froum since last August.

Have you read Rex Fan's site? It gives a lot of basic information on (at the moment) 134 different creatures of which most are dinosaurs, Delta's site is also very helpful when it comes to less popular dinosaurs and the Dinopedia-wikia is also pretty good ( for a wikia page at least) and also you should try 'Google Scholar' it's basically Google but it only shows scientific papers and stuff like that.

Double post

You posted that 2 times! Don't you just hate it when that happens!?

It's not that bad, it doesn't happen too often.

Yah, but it still sucks though!

True.

google scholar helped me do my research, it's better to do research then to say something that has no scientific backing.

Thanks for the reference UCMP :)

Torvosauru: Jurassic discount of yrannosaurus. XD Also, it has a couple of brie appearences in my soon-to-be-published book.
