Hey there, i was wondering about how effective were spino's arms in a head to head combat? If we look at this pic, which is pretty reasonable, I dont see how its arms could slash out at a preadtor of equal size, unless they started huging!

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!

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.
