Ekrixinatosaurus novasi Ekrixinatosaurus (Explosion-Born Reptile) is a genus of dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous. It was a theropod believed to be one of the abelisaurs. Its fossils have been found in Argentina. The type species, Ekrixinatosaurus novasi, was first described in 2004 by Argentinian paleontologist Jorge Calvo, and Chilean paleontologists David Rubilar-Rogers and Karen Moreno. Ekrixinatosaurus is perhaps the largest abelisaurid known to date, estimated as 10 to 11 metres (33 to 36 ft) long. Most recently, a 2016 study again found Ekrixinatosaurus novasi to be smaller (7.4 m) than Carnotaurus (7.8 m). It was also particularly robust and had a relatively large head, suggesting that it was a powerful predator or scavenger, able to scare other predators away from their kills. ![]() Suchomimus tenerensis Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") is a genus of large spinosaurid dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived between 121–112 million years ago, during the late Aptian stage of the Cretaceous period in Africa. Unlike most giant theropods, Suchomimus had a very long, low snout and narrow jaws studded with some 100 teeth, not very sharp and curving slightly backward. The tip of the snout was enlarged and carried a "rosette" of longer teeth. The animal is reminiscent of crocodilians that eat mainly fish, such as the living gharial, a type of large crocodile with a very long, slim snout, from the region of India. Suchomimus also had a tall extension of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more exaggerated form in Spinosaurus. The length of the type specimen of Suchomimus, a subadult, was initially estimated at 10.3–11 m (34–36 ft). Its weight was estimated at between 2.7 and 5.2 tonnes (2.7 and 5.1 long tons; 3.0 and 5.7 short tons). In 2010, Gregory S. Paul gave lower estimations of 9.5 metres and 2.5 tonnes. The overall impression is of a massive and powerful creature that ate fish and presumably other sorts of meat (carrion, if naught else) more than 100 million years ago, when the Sahara was a lush, swampy habitat. ![]() _________________________________________________________________________

Ekrixinatosaurus wins easily. It has a much stronger bite, and has armor than can easily stop the weak bite of the spinosaurid. It should be able to knock over Suchomimus, maul him, and crush his neck with those durable jaws Edited by Carcharadon, Aug 25 2012, 10:52 PM.

Ekrixinatosaurus may be slightly smaller, but it has an immensely powerful bite force, and is much more heavily-built, Ekrixinatosaurus wins |

I am sure that a 11m Ekrixinatosaurus would be Heavier than 11m Suchomimus |

I think Ekrixinatosaurus would win here. It was bulkier, and had a more powerful bite. |

ekrixinatosaurus wins, but not easily. keep in mind that 11m is just the size of a sub-adult, and adults are theorized to have exceeded 12m |

mismatch. Suchomimus looses to trex. Trex loses to Ekr |

you should make a comparison, but I wouldn´t be so sure abot that. the one metre would hardly matter here, as Ekrixinatosaurus had a shorter tail- |

Tyrannosaurus would have a 75% chance of beating Ekrixinatosaurus imo |
