Tyrannosaurus vs Spinosaurus, who wins?

so plain and simple, tired of walking on eggshells when it comes to this thing.

So i made this topic.

If you state "mine is larger, therefore it wins" or something of that sort, your comment will either be deleted or out right ignored.

Let's have a fun, clean debate.

Let's begin with Paleontologically accepted size ranges for these animals. Not fanboy estimates. These are of course averages.

Tyrannosaurus - 13 meters, 7 tons, 17 feet tall(top of head)

Spinosaurus - 15 meters, 6 tons 19 feet tall ( top of head) 25 feet tall (top of sail)

Now...my personal belief is that Tyrannosaurus Rex would win this 6/10. 

Spino just has that sail, that stands 6 feet off its back. An easy target for a attacking predator.

Of course...Environmental factors, behavior, etc. would certainly determine if there was even a fight. 5/ 10 times, no blood would be drawn.

However, when it gets down and dirty, Tyrannosaurus is more powerfully built, has those large banana shaped teeth, and has the highest recorded bite force of any theropod - that has been scientifically acknowledged -.

My reasons for Why tyrannosaurus wins the majority of the time, don't agree? let's go..

Let's have a fun, clean debate folks....go at it.

Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

I know what you mean. Like I just said, it also gets annoying when someone says something, and gives no reason for it. 401, I understand, there is no need for you tp defend yourself now, because I'm over it. I get it, you have no reason in particular to think that, you just do.

Apparently SPino can run fatser than Rex.

@FAct Dude Thank you. I hope nobody tries to warn you either even though you show no sign of fighting.

Incredible, isn't it? We have a few ribs, a toe bone, a few neural spines, and part of an upper jaw and we can determine how fast the thing was. Four more years and we won't even need to research and we'll know everything about everything.

401, that says it MAY have been able to run as fast, not faster, but who knows... Nobody, exactly! And that is one of the plentiful sites that supports my theory of Spinosaurus being a good amount heavier than T-Rex.

@Mr. Happy I wouldn't say that. We used to "Know" dinosaurs were giant lizards.

@Fact Dude yes, since it's BBC Rex Fans won't feel the need to prove us wrong.

There is a lot of "fact" out there. The truth is, we don't even know t rex was a carnivore for truely 100% certaindy. 99.99999999 ect percent, but until we find a living T. rex eating meat, we don't truly 100% know. We dthe now that dinosaurs existed, and thata all. (At least thats all I could think of)

Just looked at that BBC thing. Don't you think 20 tons is high balling it? You know, just a little bit? 20 tons for a biped is like a smart car weighing 4 000 pounds. Most of the weight would have to be in the power source for something that heavy to move itself safely. If Spino weighed 20 tons, the legs would have to make up at least 60% of the weight.

 

Sorry if it looked like I was trying to disprove anything, but just making an observation there.

Sorry about that, it's just your first few posts, and then the sometimes debate, and the plot hole debunked turned Rex vs Spino are still fresh in my mind, so I'm trying to avoid this. In all fairness, you surprised me not going all rage mode in here, so good job on that and keep it up.

Well, i kinda think 12 tons in body weight and a bite force of 15 tons for a T-Rex is high balling it :/

Right, it's just the first thing that popped into my head. Ever seen a smart car? It's literally a cardboard box with an engine. 4 000 pounds is about the weight of a Dodge Charger (1970) if I'm not mistaken. Ever watch fast and furious? The black car with the blower (thing sticking out of the hood) was a 1970 Charger. So imagine a cardboard box on wheels being as heavy as a 1970's race car.

Another thing I aks of you Mr. Happy is to use "Literally" correctly.

Seriously, it just PISSES ME OFF when people use literally and it just isn't, well, literal.
