Tyrannosaurus rex
Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning "king" in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is a fixture in popular culture. It lived throughout what is now western North America, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period, 67 to 65.5 million years ago.[1] It was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to the large and powerful hindlimbs, Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were small, though unusually powerful for their size, and bore two clawed digits. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, Tyrannosaurus rex may have been an apex predator, preying upon hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, although some experts have suggested it was primarily a scavenger. The debate over Tyrannosaurus as apex predator or scavenger is among the longest running in paleontology. Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest land carnivores of all time; the largest complete specimen, FMNH PR2081 ("Sue"), measured 12.8 metres (42 ft) long, and was 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) tall at the hips. Mass estimates have varied widely over the years, from more than 7.2 metric tons (7.9 short tons), to less than 4.5 metric tons (5.0 short tons), with most modern estimates ranging between 5.4 and 6.8 metric tons (6.0 and 7.5 short tons). Packard et al. (2009) tested dinosaur mass estimation procedures on elephants and concluded that dinosaur estimations are flawed and produce over-estimations; thus, the weight of Tyrannosaurus could be much less than usually estimated. Other estimations have concluded that the largest known Tyrannosaurus specimens had a weight exceeding 9 tonnes.

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Spinosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived in what is now North Africa, from the lower Albian to lower Cenomanian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 97 million years ago. Spinosaurus may be the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, even larger than Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus. Estimates published in 2005 and 2007 suggest that it was 12.6 to 18 metres (41 to 59 ft) in length and 7 to 20.9 tonnes (7.7 to 23.0 short tons) in weight. The skull of Spinosaurus was long and narrow like that of a modern crocodilian. Spinosaurus is thought to have eaten fish; evidence suggests that it lived both on land and in water like a modern crocodilian. The distinctive spines of Spinosaurus, which were long extensions of the vertebrae, grew to at least 1.65 meters (5.4 ft) long and were likely to have had skin connecting them, forming a sail-like structure, although some authors have suggested that the spines were covered in fat and formed a hump. Multiple functions have been put forward for this structure, including thermoregulation and display. Dal Sasso et al. (2005) assumed that Spinosaurus and Suchomimus had the same body proportions in relation to their skull lengths, and thereby calculated that Spinosaurus was 16 to 18 meters (52 to 59 ft) in length and 7 to 9 tonnes (7.7 to 9.9 short tons) in weight. The Dal Sasso et al. estimates were criticized because the skull length estimate was uncertain, and (assuming that body mass increases as the cube of body length) scaling Suchomimus which was 11 meters (36 ft) long and 3.8 tonnes (4.2 short tons) in mass to the range of estimated lengths of Spinosaurus would produce an estimated body mass of 11.7 to 16.7 tonnes (12.9 to 18.4 short tons).

I'm not biased against Tyrannosaurus either, I just don't think of it as a super dinosaur, instead I think of it as a dinosaur with limitations.
I would say you think of it as a limitation with dinosaurian attributes ! :D

BREAKING NEWS : others dinosaurs have TOO limitations !
Trex would bite spino if it came near, and spinosaurus is not agile at all please don't tell me its going to dodge the trex bite.
So Tyrannosaurus is going to just suddenly bite the Spinosaurus like a ninja strike? Really?

And also, Spinosaurus is visually much larger and would intimidate the Tyrannosaurus, giving the spinosaur a psychological advantage, also it means that Spinosaurus would more likely be the aggressor, not Tyrannosaurus.

And the gape of Tyrannosaurus, being relatively low due to the jaw muscles being more adapted for powered bites than jaw opening, limits the areas of Spinosaurus' body that it can effectively bite.
Just because spino is slow and can't dodge it does not mean that the trex would do it ninja like. Spino on the other hand can't ever get a good bite because of it's jaws and its not agile the only real weapon it has is power and its claws.
Spinosaurus can get a good bite, it's jaw structure actually allows for a decent bite force, check out the the thread "Spinosaurus bite force", it's opportunities for that are quite limited though. Also, it can dodge by rearing up, placing it's head and neck out of Tyrannosaurus' reach. Spinosaurus isn't going to be moving at slow-mo, how would it catch swimming fish then if it did?

The claws can only be used even slightly effectively if the dinosaur rears up, however, it's overall body strength should give Spinosaurus the advantage.

And btw, Tyrannosaurus' only real weapons are it's head and it's jaws, and the jaws are limited by their gape against a larger opponent, the battering ram-head is going to be Tyrannosaurus' best weapon here, too bad for the tyrannosaur, it has less strength than it's opponent.

Tyrannosaurus isn't going to be very agile here either, neither of them are going to run circles around the other.
Head and jaws is all it needs to injure the spinosaurus.
Spinosaurus is almost 2 times heavier than T.rex. How the hell is it going to injure an opponent that big? T.rex's bone crushing bite means nothing in this fight if the opponent is too big.

In both of those cases there is nothing to suggest it could not bite the most vital and accessible areas; the skull and neck.

Look at this skull!!! Really wimpy and means Nothing! It's all dumb stuff! A host, a con!!! A FRONT!!!
I see nothing wrong with that skull, like Dinopithecus said. But spinosaurus on the other hand, is bigger and can knock the tyrannosaurus over.
I highly doubt that. Tyrannosaurus will knock spino first, causing spino to roll over, breaking its back and die.
Tyrannosaurus is the more skilled and experienced fighter.
Um, excuse me. But the spino is twice the rex's size and is more likely to knock the tyrannosaurus over, then step on the rex.
No no no no.

T.rex 9t
Spinosaurus 15t

It is not twice the size at all. I do not consider it. Besides t.rex has a bulkier body, better weapons, and it is the more skilled and experienced fighter.
Oh god. You are so hard to ignore.

How will the Tyrannosaurus knock the spinosaurus over first? Using it's supernatural head power? You said a T.rex's head can knock down a 40 ft truck, bullshit.

Ok seriously, you have just been told that dinosaur was banned a while ago after having somehow missed the news the first time around, and then you continue replying to him?

That isn't really my point, although it is true. I also agree that a bone-crushing bite is not what is needed against larger opponents, just that I don't consider Spinosaurus to be too large.

But it is still the easiest target in this battle. It is easier to get than the flanks of Tyrannosaurus, because of the skull position.

Spinosaurus' neck isn't really thin(it needs some neck muscles in there to help it catch and hold large 1-2 tonne struggling fish!), and Spinosaurus' jaw is far from useless. Why do many people underestimate the capabilities of non-tyrannosaur theropods?

It's simple really. Compared to tyrannosaurus, spinosaurus' neck and jaws have an easier job to do. It filled a niche that doesn't require them to be able to bring down large dinosaurs (1-2 ton fish at best). People aren't underestimating the capabilities of these jaws/neck. You yourself identified that they are suitable for hunting fish, not multi ton theropods.

He said that it's neck was thin and it's jaws were useless. Obviously, both of those are flawed ideas. The thin neck idea came from Greg Paul who for some reason keeps his dinosaurs anorexic, and the "useless jaw" idea was made by haters/fanboys. I was not making a comparison, just pointing out errors.

T rex's jaw gape is big enough to bite spinosaurus' neck or jaw. While spino was catching fish tyrannosaur was hunting large triceratops or ankylosaurus'

LOL@ broly.
Your notion on Torvosaurus is not supported by any evidence. Again your bigotry towards certain opinions and animals is astonishing. I think you showed signs of betterment but I guess I was wrong.
Please, can you say me if it is wortwhile to discuss with this guy ? I have never seen such a bad faith among dinos forumers...

Me or him?
I try to keep my arguments as scientific as possible, which is nearly impossible with certain users.
If my attitude comes over a little nasty, I am just tired of fanatical quasi-religious worship and denigration of animals.
