Quote:Well Giganotosaurus wasnt normally described, so we cant really know ribcage width.

I never claimed my estimate for the ribcage width was set in stone or the only possibility. The entire premise of my post above was that the dorsal view of Scott Hartman's Giganotosaurus was not consistent with the ribcage proportions of related, well-preserved, well-described animals, and what it would be like when based on the proportions of said animals.
Furthermore, what you are saying is by no means news to me. Take a look at what Scott Hartman told me in the final Twitter screenshot about how well preserved the ribs are in the 1st place.

Quote:Also, MUCPV-95 appears to be from animal ~6% longer and ~21% heavier

If you can show how this was reached and why it may be a better option than my demonstrated estimate on Post #7 leading to an animal 10% larger in linear dimensions and 1/3 heavier, then I would love to see that.
But, until or unless you can do so, I consider 10% the more likely option than 6%. This is because (as I explained in Post #10) I can easily replicate 10% while not being able to do so with 6%. Reply
