Dowdy Posted June 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hmm, Spino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillghast Posted June 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Spino? Actually. Allosaurus? Lets wait for frogfish to prove us wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted June 21, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Gigantosaurus could of been the largest theropod, but it would have a hard time fending of Carcharodontosaurus (which is the same size, or even bigger). Plus, there was a new dinosaur found in the USA and only know from very few vertebrae. Its called Saurophaganax, and if estimates are right, then it is the largest and longest theropod of all time!

Jack_of_Blades Posted June 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2006 When you say "most powerful" do you mean overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Monkey Posted June 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I would say it was my mate Sid. He is 6' 6" , 22 stone and you should have seen the ammount he put away at a BBQ over the weekend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conspiracy Posted June 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2006 id have to say allosaurus or utahrapter, they werent the biggest but those things were well organized in hunting and such.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted June 23, 2006 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Its now believed that Utahraptor hunted single or in pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zking Posted June 23, 2006 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe some velociraptors, fast efficient killers, although their are probably other dino's like the Velociraptors only more powerful. I havent been reading too much about dino's lately, but I suppose that the Gigantosarus was probably stronger. But Im not sure, Im probably going to be proven wrong, by someone, most likely frogfish.

frogfish Posted June 24, 2006 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2006 although their are probably other dino's like the Velociraptors only more powerful Deinonychus and Dromaeosaurus...larger versions of Velociraptor. but I suppose that the Gigantosarus was probably stronger We can only estimate strength...it depends, Spino had the best arms of all the large theropods, while the others had mass and weight on their side.

Master Sage Posted June 26, 2006 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'll have to disagree with Mosasaurs, I'd like to say T-Rex, but I gotta say Gigia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted June 26, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I will still have to go with T Rex, he has the most powerful jaws. until they find another theropod that is larger then T Rex with the same type of skull structure then hes still the KING..... IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted June 27, 2006 #14 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Giginatosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Saurophaganax Yes they are larger but isn't the skull structure more narrow and didn't support the jaw muscle the T-Rex has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted June 28, 2006 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yes they are larger but isn't the skull structure more narrow and didn't support the jaw muscle the T-Rex has? No...they are in the same family...the Tyrannosaurs. Same jaw structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted June 28, 2006 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) Just more primitive. Carcharodontosaurus teeth are nothing like T-Rex's teeth tho. I have a cast of Carcharodontosaurus tooth and it knive shaped nowere near as strong as T-Rex teeth or as big to my knowledge, I'll have to look into it. Im not sure about Giginatosaurus and Saurophaganax. Edited June 28, 2006 by Twisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted June 28, 2006 #17 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) Im not sure about Giginatosaurus and Saurophaganax Gignatosaurus's teeth are 7-inch steak knives...in essence. Saurophaganax's teeth are identical to Allosaurus. Except bigger. Edited June 28, 2006 by frogfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saurophaganax is only known from a vertebrae, how do we know anything about it's teeth? Has any more of this animal been found since the vertebra?

Has any more of this animal been found since the vertebra? It's known from a couple bones, and is thought to be a subspecies of Allosaurus or another allosaur.

lowbro Posted July 1, 2006 #21 Share Posted July 1, 2006 What about that dino Deinocheirus (terrible hand)? They've only found the hands but they are HUGE! Maybe it didnt have huge jaws to kill because the hands evolved to be sufficient enough to kill. If it is bi-pedial, i think it has the biggest hands for its size, considering most bi-pedial carnivores have small hands or fore limbs in ratio to their body size. (eg t-rex) Maybe its bigger than we think? Cant answer many questions until we find the rest i guess? here is a link Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eg t-rex) Maybe its bigger than we think? Deinocheirus is thought to be related to gallimimus, as the skeleton exhibits similar structures...They think it is about 40 feet long, and if it is related to deinocheirus, then it is an omnivore/insectivore.

frogfish Posted July 2, 2006 #24 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yep...Not fully insectivore...More of an omnivore also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuffypuffer Posted July 2, 2006 #25 Share Posted July 2, 2006 That's a derned big insectivore. But hell, the biggest whales only eat tiny little shrimp, so it's not like it never happens. Still, it must have eaten a LOT of insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
