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.

Just some food for thought regarding MUCPv-95 and MCF-PVPH-108.145, the Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus fragments a lot of you in this thread discounted due to the potential of individual variation: It goes BOTH ways.
So just as MCF-PVPH-108.145 and MUCPv-95 could be the exact same size as more average individuals of their species, MUCPv-95 could be a Giganotosaurus that is more than 8% bigger than MUCPv-Ch1 but with a proportionately slender jaw. Also, MCF-PVPH-108.145 could be a Mapusaurus that's more than 10% bigger than the Giganotosaurus holotype but with just a smaller pubis. Not saying it's guaranteed, but if you're gonna apply individual variation bear in mind it's not a one way street.

Also, just thought I'd mention that, on average, Giganotosaurus does indeed seem to be bigger than T rex after all - we have a range of ~4 (Bucky, B-rex, Black Beauty, etc) to ~7.47-8.4 tonnes (Sue, Scotty) for Tyrannosaurus, which gives us an average mass of about 6 tonnes. See this post (link) for more elaboration. Meanwhile, we have ~8.17 tonnes for MUCPv-Ch1, and an estimated ~10.29 tonnes for MUCPv-95 (link), which would give Giganotosaurus a mass advantage of 4+ tonnes at lower sizes and 3.23 tonnes on average - heck, even if we disregard MUCPv-95, you have an animal with almost 2.2 tonnes of mass advantage over the average Tyrannosaurus. At maximum, Giganotosaurus is larger at well, by almost 2.4 tonnes.
