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.

As you can see, it is not too much, all the other calculations are pure speculation and sensacionalism, created even by the original authors. Even worst, as you know, there is a lot o variation on the size of skull in modern vertebrates, so the same obviously will apply to dinosaurs. In this case, this could be just a "normal sized" Giganotosaurus with a big jaw.

This is the holotype MUCPv-Ch 1:

Now you can compare them. But before to use the scale bar, take in count what Franois says in his post at DevianArt (in the image posted by @Verdugo).


The amount of fossil found in itself should not take away from the conclusions. If I were to show you half a lion mandible and a full skeleton of a leopard, it'd be safe to say how much bigger the lion is than the leopard despite the lion evidence being very fragmentary. What does take away from the conclusions is the lack of numerical comparison in the 1998 paper and then the subsequent issue of the second mandible being only 2% taller. Were the tooth diameters ever compared?
