Because I thought that most preadtors arms couldnt sviel that far up or something like that! What are your thoughts, I think im complety wrong though!
yes, but i think the ones with an unsavory biased against tyrannosaurs are no loner active there(banned or otherwise) neat little forum, really

Yep it is huge, however is it active. It seems to be slowly lessing or something, I might be wrong though :)
it hasn't been too active lately, i posted about the new ornithiscian a couple days ago, usualy there's a lot of people with something to say but lately, not really

After 245 pages of the same arguments, it's about time ;)

LOL XD! It was never going anywhere, it started off good until the fan boys of both dinos came :(
usually how that thing turns out

Now with this new revision of the spino, is it less powerfull? In terms of mussle and shoving power etc. ?
wait if spino is shorter, I'm pretty sure it's arms are much less effective! If it's shorter than rex, it's lost its throne completely!
if it is, we have no word really yet. Sereno was saying the find was gonna make spino the largest theropod...but the info presented...i'm not sure. It may just be poor journalism at large and that's why the numbers are the way they are...time will tell. We should get word here within a month

Any time! i can see where this would cause confusion.
he confirmed the finds, and they're being studied right now. Pretty sure he approved the exhibit, but he most certainly didn't write that article, which i suspect is faulty the more i read it.

Predator x really! Wait, who said? The nat geo or what, but if true spino is gonna be alot lighter! GG
