Basilosaurus had an even more elongate built, and it could reach 23m or so, not just 18.

But this said Basilo was 18 m on average

Basilosaurus cetoides

Basilosaurus cetoides

Basilosaurus averaged about 18 meters (60 ft) in length, and is believed to have been the largest animal to have lived in its time

No problem. And thanks for the comparison Dark Allosaurus. But I think Basilosaurus was a little longer than the one in the comparison you made.

it averaged 18m, but as the other ones have no average figures you should compare the max lenghts, so 19 or 20m for meg, 15 or 17m for mosa and 23m for Basilosaurus.

This makes me feeling sad for (the mental condition of) all those T. rex fanboys that think T. rex was the most fearsome animal with the strongest bite of all time

That's exactly what says Dr Chuck Ciampagno on the corresponding video :

The best about it is that this t. rexs head is already oversized, while meg isn´t at it´s max size. going by the total lenght of rex, one of the larger grid segments has to be more than a metre. one can easily see that that rexes skull is much longer than 1,5m.

Now take a T. rex with the right skull size, and the effect will be even more extreme. Poor little rex!

Now this a rough figure, it just give an idea, as said Ciampagno, T.rex head would in this guy's mouth.

What is especially impressive IMO is the sheer girth of megalodon. T.rex seems really ridiculous.

The megalodon seems to be the one from prehistoric predators, and the T. rex looks like it´s from Dinosaur revolution (that meg is particularly bulky and the T. rex is particularly big headed)

The meg is from the latest scientific show from Discovery. Not surprising it looks like the one of the Nat Geo, it has the same scientific basis. Did you checked the video ?

Achillobator and Postosuchus
Posted Image

Achillobator = 5 meters long, 226.8 kilograms
Postosuchus = 4 meters long, 250-300 kilograms

@theropod: So Suchomimus has a mass of 42 tonnes, and Baryonyx has a mass of 23 tonnes? What materials did you make them out of?

Nice, but Dilophosaurus lived in North America, not Africa
