You will find this very interesting.

Just some hours ago, Dan Folkes completed his skeletal regarding Spinosaurus Holotype (to note, Spinosaurus Holotype is an adult specimen, not a subadult like the neotype)

Standing at 1.83 meters tall at the hip, he's smaller than I previously thought (my estimate was about 2 meters tall or slightly more).
The latest estimate put it at 3.7 tons but with the new skeletal it might change a bit with a less wide torso.

To compare it, I think this is kinda of unfair regarding how small it's size is, but it's still interesting to see how the Holotypes of other theropods (not only the one shown, but others aswell such as Carch, Mapu, torvo, arco etc.) are much bigger and basically dwarf Spino holotype

There it is with Giganotosaurus Holotype, 3.7 tons vs 7.6 tons

Or tyrannosaurus Holotype CM 9380
3.7 tons vs 7.9 tons

or Sue, although a 9.7 ton vs 3.7 ton comparison is a bit unfair for the spino
