Tarbosaurus skull seems too large in relation. Just recently I have seen both skulls, and the one of Torvosaurus was just as massive but a good deal larger.

How do you guys even get your pictures to show up? I want to add some pics into this thread, but whenever I try to add pictures, it always shows up as a little red box.

Carnotaurus vs. Allosaurus-A comparison of my two favorite dinosaurs
Posted Image
Allosaurus: 8.8 m
Carnotaurus: 8 m

Allo's longer. Carno only looks taller because of its longer legs

The Tarbosaurus (in size comparison) is based on largest specimen PIN 555-1 (holotype). You saw probably smaller specimen. I saw Tarbosaurus skull in SaurierMuseum, which is around 90 cm and it isn't the largest Tarbosaurus skull ever found.

Spinosaurus "Old Skeletal" ~ 2m skull - Spinosaurus "New and accurate Skeletal" ~ 2m skull - Tyrannosaurus ~ 1.5m skull - Giganotosaurus ~ 1.9m skull - Carcharodontosaurus ~ 1.6m skulll

Notes:
1- Open Image in a new tab to see better
2- Giganotosaurus' skull should 5cm longer
3- Carcharodontosaurus' tail should be a little longer

Thanks for the info. what I thought was that both skulls weren´t maximum size.

@Prehistoric Cat: great work, but There is no such thing as an "accurate skeletal", as long as we know so little. The skeletal from Dal Sasso et al´s paper (Here: http://www.reocities.com/Athens/bridge/4602/spinoskull.pdf) shows a significantly smaller skull, seemingly basing on Baryonyx or Suchomimus. Imo there is no reason to asume it having a relatively larger skull, tough the skeletals here are of course a possibility.

Also the giganotosaurus ought to be somewhat taller than T rex. the paratpye must have had a femur more than 1,5m long, and the added up femur+tibia-lenght of the holotype is already larger than T rex´s.

I don´t think that, could you please delete that stupid line? I once tough it could be, but the megalosaur turned out to be the smaller one.
