"Even If T.Rex Did Win Dinowarz,He Would Not Be King.Spinosaurus Would,Cause He Is The Largest Meat-Eating Dinosaur.People Made T.Rex King Of Dinosaurs Was Because He Was The Largest Dinosaur In The Early Ages.He Is No King."

That is a laugh! Spinosaurus was not the largest dinosaur. JP3 made it out like it was, but it's not. Again, another nieve person relying on JP3 for cold, soild facts, but JP3 is fiction.

Yes, T.rex was nto the largest of the dinosaurus, but was certainly one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful.

This board seems to be turning into a "My dinosaur is better than yours" debate.

"Megaraptor is classified as a dinosaur, thank you."

Well, of course! He wasn't asking that anyway!
from Jason, age 13, Dayton, Ohio, USA; August 29, 2001


Spinosaurus is the last specis in a long line of weak jawed, light bodied sauropods. Very little of Spino has been found but most evidence points to a fish eating dino, like it's closest cousin Baroynx something like that, I forgot how to spell it. Spino really lacks the the neccessary equipment for a good hunter.
First are the teeth. T-rex has backward curving serrated daggers that are a foot long, with 2/3 of the tooth anchored tight in the extremely deep skull. Spino has cone teeth built for gripping fish. But they are not backwards curving, making it easy for the Spino to remove the fish from it's jaws to swallow it. Spinosaurus has extremely swallow jaws so the teeth are poorly rooted.
Second are the jaws. T-rex has jaws that are extremely deep( tall) making then strong, but also light. One look and you can tell it was designed to bite down with incredible force. The Spino has thin, swallow jaws designed to be nimble and dextrous in snapping up fish. These jaws would not have been capable of bitting down with any real force. Spino's relative Dilophosaursus (still can't spell) had jaw bones that were wafer thin, and Spino's jaws might not have been much better.
Lastly and most importantly is the next. Most theropods like T-rex had the distinctive S-curve neck. T-rex's neck was short and heavyily muscled. The S-curve allowed the muscles to have cross attachments where they had better leverage, think fist versus open hand. Spinosaursus was odd to be one of the few theropods missing this S-curve, probably to extend the length of his reach so it could reach more fish. Spino's neck was also thin, long, and weak.
Spino probably could not out-fight the allosaursus of the period. It just simplely was not built for killing. A pure fish eating like the harmless gharials of today. The Spino was probably a rare site in it's day, patiently catching fish, ready to flee from an Allosaurus that might give it trouble. If T-rex did fight Spinosaurus, the Spino would have certainly been slaugtered.

To Greg N. who posted:

"why does everyone hate the giganotosaurus it is the largest get over it also anyone have ideas on the size of the new rex finds"

There are two new tyrannosaur specimens. One is called "C-Rex" which is currently being excavated by Jack Horner. The other is called "Rigby's Rex" and I believe it has been excavated, but a case similar to that of Sue's has developed, and a legal battle may ensue. Both are contender's for the largest carnivorous dinosaur, as C-Rex is 10% larger than Sue, and Rigby's Rex is 15% larger than than the current Giganatosaur.
from Sauron, age ?, ?, ?, ?; August 24, 2001


James, T-rex will MASSACARE Giganotosaurus! Juz look at this!

Okay, the rules are this, a team of ten Gigantosaurus are going to fight a team of three T.Rexes, Sue, Suzie and Sue-Imperator. You may be asking why are the teams unbalanced? Well, lets just say even if the odds were 10 to 1, it still wouldn't be fair. Combat will be team-tag style. Ready, Yes? But let's interview our special guests first.
(Camera pans to review The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin)

Bill: Hey Rock, who do you think will win?
The Rock: T.Rex, cos IT DOSEN'T MATTER what the Gigantosaurus do!
Stone Cold: Naa, I say the Gigantosaurus will win. They are bigger.
The Rock: Do you really think so?
Stone Cold: Yes, becau-
The Rock: IT DOSEN'T MATTER JARBONI!
Stone Cold: No, it's so, because Stone Cold, said so.
The Rock: We'll see Jarboni.

James you are WRONG, t-rex would have been more agile than spino or allo or giganto. how come u know so littlae about dinos anyway?
from ?, age ?, ?, ?, ?; August 24, 2001


I believe you have been badly mistaken in your fight in Allosaurus vs. Tyrannosaurus. Firstly, Allosaurus has been proven to have a very weak bite force, and would be incapable of doing what you said. Sorry, a 4-ton Allo won't jump and T-Rex was too agile for it anyway...end result? Look at the picture of the Allosaurus trophy in the dinopic page.

why does everyone hate the giganotosaurus it is the largest get over it also anyone have ideas on the size of the new rex finds
from greg n, age 19, conway, missouri, usa; August 24, 2001


this is what i think would happen between these fights everyone fights over okay.
T rex VS Allosaurs.
first see Allosaurs is smaller then t rex so everyone thinks it just kill but...
Allosaurs would just dogde the kill bite from the Trex cause it's smaller and could just kinda bend down cause it's more agile then jump up bite Trex in the throught crushing it pull Trex to the ground and then just rip it and pull meat out.
Trex VS Spino
sence Spino was lighter it would be more agile then so the Spino could dogde all the slow powerful jaws from the Trex and Spino still has a strong bite but see Trex would go for the clean kill the Spino would dogde running to the side cut the Trex stomach apart bite its head pull it off then eat it.

Gigantosaurs vs Trex
Trex is smaller but Gigantaosaurs would just bite its head throw it the ground because it overpowers the Trex and bite it in half.

"Yes, everyone 8 and over can fire a bazooka, because they usually play a lot of video games."

Video games are not ANYTHING like the real world! Don't get fooled. You can't hit the reset after your arm is blown off. When it's blow off, it STAYS blown off. And it actually hurts a lot.
from Honkie Tong, age 17, ?, ?, ?; August 7, 2001


euoplacephulas, I happen to have handled some form of real heavy, bazooka-like weaponary before (to be specific, a SA-13 Igla) and I will tell you honestly that these buggers are incredibily hard and potentially dangerous to use! And what bazooka are you refering to? The ones that you described seem capable of blowing a 6-ton animal to bits, so I'll assume it's no M-72 LAW, but something much bigger like a Carl-Gustav 80mm recoiless rifle or the Isreali SMAW. Well, in that case, any "bazooka" will be much too heavy for a kid from 8-12 to carry. (13, is considered teenager) Those "bazookas" are excessively heavy (18-25 kilos!)and even require two-man crews to operate efficently. And yes, they even need specialized training to use such weapons! To shoot a simple bazooka, you need to compensate for rocket trajectory, wind drift, gravitional decay, shooting downhill, backblast consideration, ammo-type charastic (ap sabots are more stable than HEAT or HE! warheads), sight-zeroing, range, target movement, lead compensation, firing stance, holding the weapon correctly, getting a proper sight-picture, stabilizing your weapon. And these are just to mention, a few things you have to be trained in to avoid blowing yourself into a ragged, bloody, half-piece of meat.

No euoplacephulas, not only is using a bazooka something you just can't learn by playing video games. In fact, a kid trying a bazooka is a stupid, dangerous idea and you can get yourself killed easily if you don't know what you are doing. In fact, I don't think you kids should even be playing with such dangerous things at all. Do you not have any idea how dangerous firearms can be? This is disturbing behaviour coming from a kid, I do not want to see you talking about "kids using guns to kill" anymore, you're still too young and have no inking of mortality! Leave the topic of firearms to that of the older people of this forum!
from Honkie Tong, age 17, ?, ?, ?; August 7, 2001


"Also, how could he blow himself up, unless he was holding it backwards, and anyone 8 or over is usually not THAT stupid."

He dosen't have to aim it backwards, if he's not careful, the backblast of the rocket can cook him if he chose the wrong firing area. Also, a lack of proper training will mean the person is more of a danger to himself to anybody. You probably don't know this but you can shoot a rocket into the ground infront of you and blow yourself to bits even if you think you have it pointed at the emeny. And that's a small bunch in hte number of possibilities you can kill yourself if you are...well a kid handling a bazooka... No, bazookas are NOT for kids and weapons manufacturers have a good reason not to allow them. Now you better not mention this again.

Yes, everyone 8 and over can fire a bazooka, because they usually play a lot of video games.

"I render your post null and voil, which is not surprising, because it seems you type more than you know."

I'm afraid that is so true.

"Question Honkie Tong. Why do you try to debunk everything I say?"

Actually I don't think he's trying to debunk you at all, even I agree that almost everythign you put out is inaccucrate. Honkie just keeps beating me to correcting all the myths you are putting out, so I decide not to add salt to your injury. But really, you seem to be making up the facts as you go along. Let me show you:

Allosaurus claws are harder than steel (COMPLETELY FALSE!)
Big Al was 12 meters long (Horribly inflated)
Allosaurus had a strong bite
Giganotosaurus had big arms
Giganotosaurus had big teeth
Giganotosaurus was 10 tons
Giganotosaurus had a strong bite
Holes in the skull were used to add muscle (ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!)
Giganotosaurus had specific adaptations for a septic bite...
...

All these above are but a small part in a gigantic list or errors, the list goes on, can you blame anybody for even trying (actually they don't need to try, it's too easy to debunk) to debunk you.

I think I'll adopt Honkie's method for answering posts.

"first of all,we're talking about an animal that weighs 10 tons,with a skull about 6 feet,and 46-47 feet length on average, vs. An animal thats 39-43 feet in length-weighing 7 tons on average."

"And look at the skull,of giganotosaurus compared to an average sized t.rex skull! Also,the openings on the sides,of theropod skulls,are used to incase muscle. Judging by the size of the openings on the skull of giganotosaurus,i'd expect a pretty good bite."

Uh on, sean, you are showing your very limited understanding of dinosaurs again. The holes in the skull were not used to increase muscle, they were used to decrease weight! In any case, bite force comes from the muscles at the base of the jaw, not in the skull! Giganotosaurus narrow jaws prevent him from packing a good bite at all. And I'm afraid the larger holes in his skull make him quite a tad more fragile. And erm, Giganotosaurus never met hardosaurs or horned dinos at all! And in any case, they'll be much too fast for him to catch!

Erm, actually the offical length of Giganotosaurus is about 43-44 feet, you seem to be using the figures first released when the size was an estimate. Giganotosaurus certaily didn't weight 10 tons at all. In fact, even 8 tons seems a little hefty.

"I suppose a t.rex could beat giganotosaurus,if it suprised one. But if a t.rex made its presence, known to the giganotosaurus,the chances are,t.rex is going to lose."

I don't think T.rex took on any animal without the element of surprise. And as I have said, Giganotosaurus would most likely lose, given his serious handicaps in speed, agility, intelligence and firepower.

"Let me know,when you'r done researching,live dinosaurs!"

Maybe you should start doing some reserch, almost 99 percent of the stuff you put up here has been debunked in the most ungraceful way. Think about it, your situtation is almost laughable!
