Afrovenator:
Dryptosaurus:
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. |

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? |

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 @$$. |
