Okay then: rhomaleosaurus vs Meg! (Actually I don't know how big rhomaleo was)

Oh sorry stoneage, but you mess with Rex again and I will put out a hit for you! Uhem, whatabout ceratosaurus vs dilophosaurus? I think ceratosaurus would tear dilophosaurus up because although he is just as long, he had larger teeth, presumably a stronger bite, and was quite a bit bulkier then dilophosaur. Not to mention he was more advanced as far as evolution goes.

It would be very painful to watch a ceratosaur die that way. ;D |

As science shows, dilophosaurs bite wasn't the best....and it wasn't that large either. However, ceratosaurus, being smaller than most predators during the jurassic was quick as well equipped with huge teeth. In my opinion the dilophosaur wouldn't have a chance against him.

I thought I had heard about it a few times in the news, but OK then. No Pliosaur went over 60 feet in length? I thought Lio was like 65 or something... Man, I need to read up on these beasts. |

Really? I hadn't seen any reference in popular culture. Well, the Rhomaleosaurus is moderately famous, but certainly not as well-known as the Liop  The Liopleurodon was certainly smaller than that. There was a genus that was supposed to be up to 20 mts long, but I don't know if it's been properly described, maybe Dr. A. could tell us something about it  |

Then all he had to do was wait until the poison takes effect and the nervous system begins to shut down. Ceratosaurus would be helpless. Don't you ever go to the movies? ;D |

Those have been known for years, and Carnegie even put one out way back in the mid-90s. Although, at current estimates of ~18m long, there are no pliosaurs that come close to a Megalodon (I don't think I can find a reliable pliosaur size reference beyond ~12m, and that's usually stretching it). |

I've read several books that say it was the biggest carnivore that ever lived. Am I wrong? Maybe Cordylus Tropidosternum BOTH need to do some research eh TP? lol  |

5 tons? I find that hard to believe. He was twice the size of Tyrannosaurus...

So if you say T-Rex is the greatest dinosaur then I must come up with an even greater Dinosaur. As you can see by the information on Liopleurodon paleontology can be misleading. In spite of all the logic, money and biases do play a part in the story you and I are told.  |

The onyl large predator on earth at the end of the Cretaceous was...a crocodile? A dromaeosaur? Doesn't matter--the biggest thing with giant teeth was no hunter. ;D |

Thanks for the information. I just want you to know that I believe that you are trying to good and logical work. I in no way am trying to lump you in with some of your colleagues. Keep up the good work!
