Size comparisons

[DinoFan83]

Note that all the sizes here are approximate due to the very poor nature of the remains. Any of these animals could be significantly larger or smaller than shown in the image.

I put together a size comparison of some of the little-known large theropods of the Tendaguru, using this blogpost as well as the Theropod Database as a very rough guide. In the chart clockwise are as follows: an unnamed carcharodontosaurid tibia (elephant sized), an unnamed megalosaurid tibia (elephant sized), "Ceratosaurus" ingens (rhinoceros sized), and an unnamed abelisaurid tibia (horse sized).
The carcharodontosaurid is based on Acrocanthosaurus, the megalosaurid is based on a composite megalosaurid/Torvosaurus, "C". ingens is based on Ceratosaurus, and the abelisaurid is based on Aucasaurus. Credit to Greg Paul for all the skeletals used here.

I have to say, the Tendaguru sure does have quite a multitude of unnamed large theropods! Reply
