First off, before I get this list started, I want to thank Rex Fan for helping me find some of the dinosaurs. Also the sizes are based off my estimates.

Now let's get This list started!

10. Ekrixinatosaurus

Ekrixinatosaurus

Size: 32-36 feet long 5-6 tons.

9. Tarbosaurus

Tarb

Size: 35-39 feet long 5-6 tons.

8. Titonceratops

Titno

Size: 25 feet long 6-6.5 tons

7. Magnapaulia

Mag

Size: 40 feet long 6-6.5 tons.

6. Spinosaurus

Spino

Size: 50 feet long 6-7 tons.

5. Triceratops

Trike

Size: 25-30 feet long 7-7.5 tons.

4. Carcharadontosaurus

Carcharadontosaurus

Size: 42-44 feet long 7-8 tons.

3. Giganotosaurus

Giga

Size: 43-46 feet long 7-8.5 tons.

2. Tyrannosaurus Rex

Rex

Size: 39-43 feet long 8-10 tons.

1. Shantungosaurus

Shantungo

Size: 45-50 feet long 10-12 tons.

P.S I view Shantungosaurus and Huaxiaosaurus as the same animal, so that's why huaxiaosaurus isn't on the list.

Good list, however I think that your ekrixinatosaurus length estimate and trex weight estimate are slightly high but thats just me otherwise great job.

MemberCompsognathusAug-18-2014 8:33 AM

Actually, many estimates for Ekrixinatosaurus put it's length at about 10-11 meters. Also, for the T.rex weight, here's a link to an article about it...

BTW, not trying to influence you Alejandro. Just letting you know where those estimates came from :)

Of course. We must all draw our own conclusions and I appreciate you keeping it in mind. I don't like it when people just go by what Wikipedia says or something.

Yeah, if we all used wikepedias sizes we'd all belive in the 20 ton spino and 16 ton carchar.

I totally agree with you rex fan, wikipedia is a good place to start but there are so many other better and more credible articles and papers written by more credible people who have actually done their own research.

Exactly. I agree 100 percent.

And good points Hipho :)

Trike was big indeed. It outweighed modern elephants by quite a bit.
