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
No...nobody is that biased.
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 @$$.
Triceratops can have a mass of up to 12 tonnes and scaling Suchomimus can yield masses for Spinosaurus comparable to that of Diplodocus carnegii depending on which Suchomimus mass estimate you take

But in all fairness - Triceratops and Spinosaurus don't have a weapon that can seriously injury any theropod from a range of 12-15 meters away from their main body. A Diplodocus does. Truth is all giant Whip-tails were too much for any single theropod to take on.

That is true, but many members would say that the Tyrannosaurus would win for some reason

Why would we need a matchup just because there will be fanboys? Are you in the mood of practicing one of your favorite hobbies; crushing T.rex fanboys? Or did you get hit in the head to the extent that you yourself became one?

The answer to your question, would be the former...

sure that's a fair fight? to me it seems like the already more formidable tyrannosaur would have had a weight advantage to top it all...

rolleyes What a great source, is there any reasoning behind these estimates? Doesn´t seem like that. isn´t it funny you don´t have problems rejecting scientifically published, tough disputed, estimates for T. rex once they are too high for you, but you use completely baseless figures from amateurs sites that are worse than wikipedia to make Saltasaurus as heavy as possible?

Funny enough a downscale from the published figure for Argentinosaurus (73t, Mazetta et al, 2004) yields only 4,6t, so how do you explain it? Do you think Saltasaurus was at parity nearly twice as massive as Argentinosaurus (at a figure that isn´t conservative btw)

Brachiosaurus vs Diplodocus. My first request on dinosauria.
Mismatch unless it is D. hallorum (D. carnegii: 10-12t, B. althithorax holotype: 29t and subadult, G. brancai holotype: 23t or more and subadult)

@DinoMike: I hope it is OK if I note such things immediately when I have time for it instead of waiting, then if you don´t know which weights to trust you already have them and everythign works more quickly.
