No it wasn't That was an exaggerated liberal estimate based on the assumption that Tyrannosaurus was a fat sausage |

Fat? Looks fine to me (also keep in mind this was the MINIMUM estimate for Sue):

That wasn't the model, it was this one below which had the 9.5-tonne estimate: ![]() As you can see, it's very fat, how can it be an efficient apex predator at that level of obesity!? |

Very convincing argument. Your 8t Saltasaurus estimate is way more absurd than a 9.5t rex. You can believe whatever you want, even if it's rubbish. Edited by MysteryMeat, Dec 31 2012, 12:17 PM.

That is Sue, an average T-rex would weigh around of 6,6t: ![]() (You can click on it) For Sue, I think 9,5t are acceptable, but I rather believe in an 8t Sue: ![]() (Click on it for the Source!) Also, that text part showed that adult T-rexes can vary from 5-8t (8t are probably specimen like Sue), 6,5t is a good meridian. Here Mazzetta believed a robust Tyrannosaurus morph (like Sue) to weigh 8t: http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/tmp/papers/Mazzetta-et-al_04_SA-dino-body-size.pdf Verdugo also once showed a quote from Thomas R. Holtz, where he stated T-rex to weigh 8t at max., so I think this is the most realistic weight for Sue. |

Do you realize that Colbert also gave ~80t for a Brachiosaurus? ![]() (Click for source) According to him, Protoceratops was bulkier than Triceratops, exept if his Triceratops is just 7m long. If his Triceratops is 9m long, Protoceratops would even be twice as massive. Not just that, when looking at the other estimates for Triceratops, his Triceratops could be overestimated. Anyway, scaling up from Seebachers estimate, we get ~70 kg for a 2m Protoceratops. |
