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.

DELTADROMEUS - I seem to remember a dissertation I read concerning the possible evolutionary paths T-Rex could have advanced along if it had been given the chance to continue. Within the core of the information was a notable piece that suggested that Rex would have completely lost its arms and become a "walking head"! This girl finds that to be a bit...frightful! :)

they may have become vestigial, if anything. Something like the arms of the abelisauridae

CARNOSAUR - I can definately see that taking place! The Abelisaurs were an interesting species. Wasn't majungatholis (spelling?) a part of that group?

Nope, nope, nope, nope. I made a pact with myself to never get involved in one of these no matter how heated or mellow they were. Sorry to disappoint. But I can't go and lose sleep(yeah, I lose sleep because of it) because I have no idea what the heck is going on on the forums while I'm not there. So, count me out. I've seen the ugly side of this debate. I'd rather not see it again.

REX FAN 684 - Nobody's going to blame you for your decision, sweetheart! This girl would rather not see the ugly side of things as well! Trust me on this: nothing as common as the Internet is worth losing sleep over. Don't let it bug you so greatly! :)
