Dryptosaurus:

Quote:
 
(ANSP 9995) (6.4 m; ~750 kg; adult) maxillary fragment, maxillary tooth, dentary fragment, surangular fragment, two dentary teeth, mid caudal vertebra, mid caudal vertebra (115 mm), mid caudal vertebra (115 mm), distal caudal vertebra (118 mm), distal caudal vertebra (118 mm), distal caudal vertebra (113 mm), distal caudal vertebra (108 mm), distal caudal vertebra (104 mm), distal caudal vertebra (72 mm), two distal caudal vertebrae, incomplete humeri (~300 mm), phalanx I-1 (~160 mm), manual ungual I or II (176 mm straight), phalanx II-2 (126 mm), phalanx ?-? (48 mm; lost), incomplete pubes, partial ischium, femur (781 mm), tibia (759 mm), partial fibula, partial astragalus (161 mm wide), partial metatarsal III
....(AMNH 2438) metatarsal IV (396 mm)


---->D? sp. indet. (Casanova, 1987)
Campanian, Late Cretaceous
Blufftown Formation, Georgia
Material- (~7.1 m; ~1 ton) metatarsal II (~440 mm)
Comments- This cannot be compared to the holotype, and could be Appalachiosaurus or another large theropod.


I´m a bit lazy today, so now long explanations and calcualtions, but generally it seems to be evenly matched in terms of weight. I have no idea about the exact bulk of these two, but from their pühylogeny I think they are probably similar in that point.

Tyrannosaurus vs Deinocheirus


Sorry that's a weight mismatch
Holtz begs to differ:

From Holtz' 2011 dinosaur genera list
The Elephant weight is just a range, that would also mean Spinosaurus and T-rex are at the same weight, but they aren't (Spino is heavier).
Read the description, he says that it's the size of Tyrannosaurus

But he could have ment legth, in the Carrano paper, they stated Acrocanthosaurus to reach the dimensions of T-rex, but only legthwise, because due to weight estimates based on femur measurements, it wouldn't reach the weight dimensions.

^actually it doesn´t quite reach them, at least not of a large T. rex. It is approximately the lenght an average T. rex likely had (+-1/2m), but even lenghtwise it doesn´t rival sue.

@theropod

I don't see where in "reaching the dimensions of T. rex" it says that they meant a large or the largest T. rex.

going by the mean figures from paleoDB the lenght of acrocanthosaurus is rather lower end even for an average T. rex (scaling from mean femur size of sue gives ~12m as average, tough smaller specimens like stan had more elongate limb proportions and it thus might have been lower).

Read the paper, they were not talking about Fran, but two recently described specimen. I don't know where I were able to download the pdf for free, so I'll quote:

well, the largest specimen seems to be NCSM 14345/OMNH 10168 at ~11,5m in lenght. Could you send me the paper?

Diplodocus vs Tyrannosaurus

Even though the Diplodocus is much larger, many members would still say the Tyrannosaurus would win rolleyes
Haha.

Believe me, many members would still support the Tyrannosaurus in that matchup despite the size difference

A Spinosaurus and a Triceratops are almost as massive as Diplodocus and yet many people favor the Tyrannosaurus against both of them

Diplodocus weighs 10-20t. Spinosaurus & Triceratops are nearly as massive my @$$.
