MemberCompsognathusJan-12-2015 7:15 PMIf there is one thing we can agree on it is that faslosuchus is awesome.
Carnosaur
MemberCompsognathusJan-12-2015 7:30 PMit is indeed awesome, but 3-5 tons is too much.
Snivley and Henderson(2004) gave a weight estimate of ~590kg for a 6.5 meter saurosuchus.
now, isometric scaling based on the upper length estimates yield ~1800kg [a range of 1,100kg-2,500kg] in other words, 1-2 tons.
very big animal, just not that big.
I've never had a favorite rauisuchid, but off the top of my head i'd have to say teratosaurus.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-13-2015 12:06 AMTYRANT KING - This is a very fun question you have asked! Hmm...I would have to say that my favorite member of the rauisuchians is the Arizonasaurus Babbitti! It is an extremely interesting animal - something like a dimetrodon mixed with a Saurosuchus Galilei! Thank you so much for presenting this insteresting topic! :)
