Isn't Dinocrocuta alot bigger than that? From what I heard. It was 400 kg's (880 lbs). In the scale. It looks more like it's 500-600 lbs. Edited by DinosaurMichael, Aug 20 2012, 04:58 AM.

btw there is a reason I reconstructed it in the traditional way. if you would just rotate the quadrate downwards, the cranium would get unproportionally tall in it´s posterior parts, what´s highly unlikely imo. The maxilla clearly shows that the skullw as quite elongated. the one of mapusaurus has a similar shape, but it is somewhat more robust Carcharodontosaurus has completely different anatomy for all we know (also it isn´t really complete enough to be sufficient as a reference) |

 Mapusaurus (very difficult to get stuff to base it on btw) The shortcuts oght to be self explaining EDIT: And here in a direct comparison with Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus and Torvosaurus:    Giganotosaurus: 1,95m (slightly more due to protruding mandibula), Mapusaurus: 1,8m (I forgot the mandibula, sorry), spinosaurus: 1,75m, Torvosaurus: 1,58m I´ll do Tyrannosaurus, Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus as well Edited by theropod, Sep 3 2012, 07:22 PM.

Impressive and mysterious picture of a very large shark, presumably a great white, not so long ago :

to me that doesnt look like a shark, possibly a small species of whale as the back fin isn't vertical |

The swells are high so the tail can be hidden beneath the surface. The snout seems conical, and whales usually breathes very characteristically. The crew definitely reported a shark but couldn't identify it. Maybe a basking but mote likely IMO a great white of very large proportions. |

By all likelihood that should be a basking shark. There's just no basis forbelieving GWS to be a more probable candidate. |

indeed. it could jsut as well be a basking shark, and it reaching such sizes is much much more likely than a GWS. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I wouldn't be that affirmative, it's very hard to say. Of course the size would more likely correspond to a Cetorhinus but the shark was reported around 7-7,5 m long, which is not impossible for a great white. Recently we saw several traces or pictures hinting the presence of very large Carcharodon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

of course that is a possibility, but looking at the size cetorhinus is more likely | ||||||||||||||||||||||
