Giant Cretaceous Theropods Size Comparison

Description

NOTE: This chart is defunct and outdated.

A size comparison of 5 selected gigantic theropods from the Cretaceous period.

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Based on my skeletal reconstruction.
Like all estimates for Spinosaurus, this is by no means factual, but we're closer now.

Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
Based on my skeletal reconstruction.
Like all estimates for Carcharodontosaurus, this is by no means factual, only a possibility.

Giganotosaurus carolinii
:iconscotthartman: estimated the length of the type specimen to be ~12.4 m long and estimated ~13.2 m for MUCPv-95. I used a specimen midway between those two.

Tyrannosaurus rex
The specimen is the holotype, which has a ~1.27 m femur.

Deinocheirus mirificus
The specimen is the holotype, scaled to the ~93.8 cm humerus based on the skeletal reconstruction from the Lee et al. paper. Ends up roughly similar in torso size (minus hump) to the Tyrannosaurus holotype, and probably more or less similar in mass (assuming that the slab-sided body and the hump cancel each other out).

CC from Code Geass (1.68 m tall) is there for scale.
