Torvosaurus vs tyrrannosaurs rex

I think you Torvosaurus is far to big but, anyways decent fight.

here some tips, take of you want them.

1. look at other fights to get a good length

2. Use pictures. If you don't know how heres how, click insert, find the picture you want, copy and paste the link, then choose a appropriate description then size.

3. Look at fights to get the right format.

4. Don't post so many discussions, it gets annoying when the entire recent topics section is full of one guys discussions.

5. Take your time, check grammer and spelling mistakes as much as possible.

It's a European torvo

1 I'm on my phone

2thanks

3 K

4 maybe

5 ok

Don't think european Torvosaurus got much above 5 tons but anyways.

1. Type it on the notes app so you can take your time

2. Good

3. Good

4. You really should only post 1-2 discussions a day, it gets really annoying if you do more then that.

5. Good

ok

Good fight considering the Torvo was almost twice as big as it should be. A normal sized Torvo vs a normal size Rex would be fighting an uphill battle. The odds just wouldn't be in it's favour. Good fight anyway, I was rooting for Rex. 

Even a Torvosaurus of this size would be fighting an uphill battle. A Tyrannosaur has jaws powerful enough to take out oponents with one good hit. Still was a good fight, and listen to the people above. Torvosaurus was 4-5 tons tops.

There's still a chance the european Torvo got to be forty feet long. The post caudal vertabrate aren't fused in the newest find, suggesting a sub-adult at the onset of maturity. A torvo forty five feet long would be able to take on a rex, but it would loose most of the time.

torvo had a very powerful bite too and i believe torvo could haven much bigger than 5 tons

it would be a great fight

The only thing that bugs me Is that... we don't have proof of Torvosaurus geting above 36 feet, we can make it bigger then that maybe 40 feet tops but, I don't think we can jump to a 45 foot long 8 ton Torvosaurus...

DAS MONSTER DAS MIDEN it represents an animal of up to 15 meters

DAS MONSTER, was most likely an allosaurid.... Not a Torvosaurus...

uhhhhhh,it had a resemblence to both megalosaurid and allosaurid

Das monster von minden is a sketchy theropod. There are claims of banana sized teeth and ribs 1,5 size of Allosaurus(If that realy holds true, who knows?) at the site, aswell as the rather small skull. Years ago I saw a pic of a reconstructed skull that looked very much like Torvosaurus´. So the smaller specimen seems to be a Megalosaurid. Probably no one knows what the larger parts may be? Maybe be even a Chimera (Pliosaur teeth?).

There's a german National Geographic article from 1999, which mentioned the rib to be 50% larger, but appearently, there are no other sources for that size. I can't find that article, but I fear this could be again a media exaggeration. There's no sciencifitic description, a media article can easily make the rib larger than it is.
In Holtz Genus list, that dinosaur was just 12m long.

Also, Mickey Mortimer downgraded that thing quite substaintially in the size department:

" ~7-8 m; 750 kg-1.2 tons) (skull ~1.0 m) premaxilla, maxilla (517 mm),

lacrimal?, postorbital?, anterior dentary, 
teeth, fused gastralium, two
caudal vertebrae, one complete dorsal rib, 
four rib fragments, ilium,
fibulae (750 mm), other elements, gastrolith
The infamous "Das Monster von Minden", 
this basal tetanurine really wasn't
that large. The maxillae suggest a cranial 
length of a meter, and this ad
the fibular(?) length both indicate 
a total length of only 7-8 meters."

wow so much to read

Interesting carnosaur... So Das monster might have just been a mix of megalosaur and pilosaur bones....

plausible, but then again that's just my working hypothesis. Surely, an animal of the supposed initial 15 meters would have been described by now! It's been almost 17 years since it was described

hopefully

do note that the biggest theropods probably come from the jurassic period. Something's gotta be big enough to kill those sauropods

Then again, there was a lot of huge sauropods from the cretaceous, and the biggest predators we have are all from the cretaceous.

As of right now, yes that's true. But We have Amphicoelias(?) Apatosaurus - which got a huge size upgrade possibly(i'll post a discussion) Brachiosaurus, Giraffatitan, And a myriad of titanosaurs.

The largest animals to ever walk the earth roamed the jurassic, something had to feed off of them and keep their populations in check. And i doubt a pack of A. Fragillis would be able to touch brachiosaurus, let alone Giraffatitan. I could be wrong though, time will tell i guess

amphiceolias

True, it is plausible.

My take is that there's animlas like Aregentinosaurus sauropodsiden, pralititan and many others as well as huge carnivores such as Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Carcharadontosaurus and many others. 

valid point.

What fascinates me is the fact we've just barely scratched the surface. In all likelyhood, there's animals out there that make the onese we know look puny in comparison

It is crazy to think about, I could just imagine a 500 foot long sauropod or 100 foot long theropod, unlikely but, it is possible.

that would be awesome
