What Expert Said about Rex VS Spino

Time To end the fanboy Wars up !

this is what the expert saids about the war youre speaking about Rex VS Spino

Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus did not live together. Spinosaurus (estimated weight up to 20 tonnes) lived in North Africa about 35 million years before T. rex (7 tonnes) terrorised the plains of North America. The only place they have ever been seen alive together is on the island of Isla Sorna in Jurassic Park 3.

In JP3, T. rex, the fearsome anti-hero of the first two Jurassic Park films, has apparently fallen on hard times. She is seen eating from a carcass, presumably that of an animal killed by the island’s true apex predator, Spinosaurus. When Spinosaurus spots the worthless scavenger, it attacks. T. rex initially gains the upper hand, biting down on Spinosaurus’ neck. But the newcomer eventually wins out, snapping T. rex’s neck like a twig with its huge arms.

This sequence is based on the ideas of the famous palaeontologist Jack Horner, who has advised on all three Jurassic Park films. It is Horner who first put forward the idea of T. rex as a scavenger – although it should be noted that even he doesn’t really believe that Rexy only ate carrion.

Defending the JP3 fight, Horner pointed to Spinosaurus’ eight-feet-long skull and 60-feet-long body, explaining that, based on the animal’s length, it was the most ferocious animal ever and calling it “an animal basically the size of a whale walking around eating things”.

The key differences in weaponry between Spinosaurus and T. rex are outlined in the documentary show Monsters Resurrected. T. rex has 30cm-long teeth set in a deep skull which is thought to have delivered one of the strongest bites of any land animal ever and was perfect for tearing, slicing and killing victims very quickly.

Spinosaurus had conical teeth in a long, crocodile-like jaw: not so good for slicing through flesh, but great for grabbing prey and holding it. Palaeontologists have suggested that Spinosaurus might have shaken its head while holding live prey in its jaws. The prey would probably suffer a broken neck and bits of flesh would start tearing off.

Spinosaurus also had an advantage over T. rex in the arm region. While Rexy’s arms continue to baffle scientists with their comical shortness, Spinosaurus’ arms were no laughing matter: seven feet long, with 15-inch claws on the end.

But Spinosaurus had its weaknesses too. That bizarre sail on its back was supported by long bones coming out of its spine. It is thought that if Spinosaurus fell over and rolled onto its sail, it would break its back and die.

So now we know how well armed the contenders were, who wins?

In the Jurassic Park 3 fight, T. rex should have been the clear winner. She gets that vital neck bite in early and it would surely have been a mortal blow against Spinosaurus.

But Spinosaurus fans could argue that in a ‘real’ fight, their champion would never have allowed T. rex close enough to deliver a neck bite. Surely one slap by the 15-inch claws of the 20 tonne Spinosaurus would be enough to kill the 7 tonne T. rex…

The last two paragraphs are going to fdo the complete opposite of ending fanboy wars.

Carnosaur

ok, so we knew all of this stuff already man. Many of us have written fights on what could happen...and that's all there is to it...this is gonna stir the pot..

Raptor-401

Yah, I actually read all of this stuff before on some otehr site... Now that I think about it, the last paragraph sounds very familiar to an article I have read before...

x_paden_x

We, Will never know...

We can Theorize, and assume...

But, we'll never know... 

When man learns, that we truly know nothing... Then, Man can continue on, To learn things...

Raptor-401

Yet again Paden makes another good point.

Something Real

Dynamosaurus Imperiosus/ Raptorexxx 700

It's a possible  theory and i myself am not a fanboy of any dinosaur but i support th tyrannosaurus theory because according to a new study tyrannosaurus could actually ram an enemy or prey with 15 tonnes of force which is enough to break anyone's ribsbut there is also another possibilty in which if they were actually fighting in the water it's game over for tyranno

land winner: Tyrannosaurus        Water Winner : Spinosaurus

Let's not forget about the whole "Spino is 20 tons with seven foot long arms and fifteen inch claws" bit.

We have what, 10, maybe 15 bones from Spino (None of which are arm or hand). "From these 10 bones, I can see that Spinosaurus was the largest predator that ever lived. It was an unstoppable monster with seven foot long arms, and 15 inch claws." "Where are the arm bones?" "Shut up and let me fantasize about this thing!" 

Raptor-401

Yet those 15 bones are enought o prove that is was weaker than Rex?

Lord Vader

I didn't say that. My opinion is based on Spinosaurs as a whole genus. Of we have even one skeleton of six (for example) out of seven members of a group, and fragmentary remains of the seventh, why would the one we have fragmentary remains of be designed any different in terms of toughness and build and diet and stuff like that.

Remember, I'm the guy who thinks the little remains we have of Spino are from a particularly large individual because that skeleton was tough enough to survive erosion in the Sahara. 

I Meme Everything

Ok, one b!tch-slap from a Spinosaurus can't kill a T.rex. Spinosaurus was much lighter than twenty tonnes, about six or seven. T.rex could have ranged anywhere from eight to ten tonnes. Spinosaurus wouldn't be able to get a good hit on T.rex without leaving itself open to the tyrant's steel-mangling jaws. So it's a pretty one-sided fight in favour of Tyrannosaurus rex.
