Cretaceous Carnage #8

Provided Carcharodontosaurs wasn't overeight tons in weight, I'd say about 60-40 Rex's favour at parity. At parity, agility isn't going to help either, and Rex's superior bite would give the King an edge. 

Given Carchar exceeded eight tons, I'd say 55-45 Carchar depending on the size (nine tons 60-40, 10 tons, 65-35, and so on). Rex was not built to take on creatures much larger than itself, so that's what I think.

I'd say 50-50%, with Carchar being more agile and Rex being stronger.

Yes i say 50-50 fight.

Matters on size of Charcaradontosaurus, like Mr Happy said. Bigger the eight tons 55-45 and so on. Though I think if rex can get a crucial bite the fight is over. If they were same sized. It would be 50-50.

Why  wouldn't carcjy have a deadly bite? Its bite would cause massive bloodloss. Wich is deadly, crushing bites and slicing bites are totally equall and dangerous.

Its is deadly. But rex's bite is more deadly. Think if it this way:

You are about to be killed, twice.

the first time, you get sliced, and sliced until you bleed to death, this may take a few minutes

now you are getting impaled to death. It burns as it goes through skin, but soon you hear the crack of youre spine. You're paralyzed, you can't move. Then, in a split second, you're neck breaks. It's all over now...

that takes about a few seconds. 

Thus they both have deadly bites but one is worse than the other.

Not necesarily worse, just faster.

one has a shark bite(slicing) wich tears massive chunks of flesh and cause tons of blood loss. cutting bones off flesh

the other has a hyena bite(crushing) wich cause broken bone and pierced flesh. straight up pulverizing bones.

i say they will cause equally horriffic bites.

Yeah Silver Falcon I ment to say faster instead of worse

I would certainly say a 50-50 fight, they both had their advantages and disadvantages.

Carchy weighed in at about 8 tons. That's a sue sized animal, whether this is an average individual or just larger then average is indeterminate at the moment, though i've established that Carcharodontosaurus(including Iguidensis) had a size range of 40-46 feet, and a weight of 6-9 tons.

Tyrannosaurus had a serious set of jaws...perhaps the jaws with the most bite force of any terrestrial carnivore to ever walk our earth.

That doesn't mean the slicing dentition of Carcharodontosaurus is less lethal, though. In a paper i'm co-authoring, we've set forth the idea that like the name sake(Carcharodon - Great whike shark and kin) these animals would go on a 'full out assult' if you will, leaing massive wounds and waiting for prey to die of shock and blood loss.

Theory mind you, and it has its kinks.

But, this is a face to face fight, and i don't think a Tyrannosaur is going to let something that just attack it leave..

Tyrannosaurus has sheer bulk and a powerful jaw, while Carcharodontosaurus has slicing dentition, opposable arms, and it might - just might - have been more fleet footed. 

All in all, I'd give a very slight edge towards Tyrannosaurus, but this one is pretty close.

You're coauthoring a paleontologic paper? Man, I used to think you were a paleontogist in disguise. Now those are just old, old suspicions from when I first started. But you do seem like a paleontologist.

Yes, The jaw mechanics of the Carcharodontosauridae is the working title, we're still far down the road from having it published, and the sheer amount of technical terms that we have to use makes my brain hurt, haha.

I'm flattered allo, but i'm just a student at the moment...within the next four or so years i hope to have a degree in this field

Oh. What are you going to do after you graduate? Are you going to go in the field or stay in the museums?

iOk ways knew you we're in a paleontologist.

i am going to. College  that majors in paleontology .

hopefully gonna go out into the field, i've already been on a couple minor digs out in Austin, NV..but, if it'd be at all possible i'd like to be a paleontological consultant for museums, documentaries, etc.

I as well plan on getting a degree in paleontology, but I'd prefer to be a collection manager, and sort all of the un-labeled fossils that have been found, as there are likely some amazing finds amongst them.

Keep in mind T.rex had a far bigger brain than Carcharodontosaurus, so that'd be an advantage. I'm giving this one to T.rex with 60-40 odds. 

intelegence dosent play as big a role in a fight as you think. they fight by instinct,as do all animals even humans
