Albertosaurus sarcophagus Albertosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, more than 70 million years ago. The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named. Scientists disagree on the content of the genus, with some recognizing Gorgosaurus libratus as a second species.As a tyrannosaurid, Albertosaurus was a bipedal predator with tiny, two-fingered hands and a massive head with dozens of large, sharp teeth. It may have been at the top of the food chain in its local ecosystem. Although relatively large for a theropod, Albertosaurus was much smaller than its more famous relative Tyrannosaurus, probably weighing less than 2 metric tons. ![]() Yutyrannus huali Yutyrannus (meaning "feathered tyrant") is a genus of tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous of China. Three specimens of Yutyrannus huali found in the fossil beds of Liaoning Province are currently the largest known dinosaur fossils that preserve direct evidence of feathers. Yutyrannus contains a single type species, Yutyrannus huali, named and described in 2012 by Xu Xing et al. The generic name is derived from Mandarin Chinese yu (羽, "feather") and Latinised Greek tyrannos (τύραννος, "tyrant"), a reference to the classification as a feathered member of the Tyrannosauroidea. The specific name consists of the Mandarin huáli (华丽, "beautiful"), in reference to the beauty of the plumage. Yutyrannus were gigantic bipedal predators. The holotype and oldest-known specimen has a length of 9 metres (30 ft) and an estimated weight of about 1,414 kg (3,120 lb). Its skull has an estimated length of 905 millimetres (35.6 in). The skulls of the paratypes are 80 centimetres (31 in) and 63 centimetres (25 in) long and their weights have been estimated at 596 kilograms (1,310 lb) and 493 kilograms (1,090 lb) respectively. The describers established some diagnostic traits of Yutyrannus, in which it differs from its direct relatives. The snout features a high midline crest, formed by the nasals and the premaxillae and which is covered by large pneumatic recesses. The postorbital has a small secondary process, jutting into the upper hind corner of the eye socket. The outer side of the main body of the postorbital is hollowed out. In the lower jaw, the external mandibular fenestra, the main opening in the outer side, is mainly located in the surangular. ![]() __________________________________________________________________________
I can't find the weight for Dryptosaurus or a good imagine. So how about this instead? Edited by Taipan, Jun 30 2013, 08:49 PM.

![]() In the middle, Alberto's skull would break while crushing bones. |

That doesn't even make sense, that's merely your (very uneducated) guess. There's no good reason why it should break while performing a task it was adapted to do |

You do realize that he made an 11-meter Lophostropheus, right? |

When I didn't know the size of it's vertebraes. I guessed the vertebraes were 50 cm. long. |

How did you even think of that, vertebrae that large from a coelophysid would have been noted instead of being left obscure |

Albertosaurus wins. Yutyrannus is smaller, less powerful, and not as advanced. |

albertosaurus is larger, more robust, and it has a larger and more powerful skull. it should win more often then not. |

Agreed. Alberto can take this without too much difficulty or trouble thanks to its advantages. |
