There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"I was just doing some poking around in regards to "giant" 'rex specimens, and came across your old skeletal of MOR 980 from 2004. Now from my understanding, many of it's preserved elements are if anything smaller than in Stan, never mind Sue.
Yet your old skeletal is pretty darn big; circa 11.7 meters based on the low-res version I'm looking at, much bigger than Stan."
Well thank you for looking for that but is a diagram from 2004 so that is pretty old and while Hartman likely did have access to information we dont have things could have changed since then and i cant even see the skeletal so it really does not do much and Hartman has been inaccurate before the comment is even stating that its loads bigger than Stan is yet Stan has been measured to be around 11.7 m with current studies unless its going on about how Scott got Stans length wrong and had it in the 10 m range.
Im not saying you are wrong you could be bang on regarding the specimen but once again we have no detailed description on the specimen from an expert and that is the best way to go. You can stick to what you want to (and we both know you will) but i will wait for a detailed description from some experts or if Fran or anyone on the discord knows anything regarding the specimen. I trust them more than i trust you for reasons we have gone over time and time again in the past.
