Comment on Saurophaganax maximus by Fragillimus335
5.5-6 tonnes? Hello, are you still in the shrink-wrapped era? Scaling from the ~1.5-tonne Big Al estimate, a ~13-meter Saurophaganax would be in the region around 8 tonnes!
Ah no, it seems to me that you have on Carnivora Forum supported that weight until you've done the calculations that could potentially lead Saurophaganax to 8 tons.
I once supported lower estimates in general before, but I am constantly revising my knowledge of dinosaurs. You may have noticed that I add extra flesh to the skeletals in the latest comparisons I made, but I left them as they were in the early ones.
What's wrong? I remind you that Mickey Mortimer had estimated 5.2 tons for a MUPCv-95 of 13.5 meters ... Saurophaganax was probably longer but less robust, also Mickey Mortimer has estimated its weight at 6 tons.
Those estimates were old, made way back in the shrink wrapped era...
Mortimer also estimated FMNH PR2081 at 5.8 tonnes.
