Tyrannosaurus rex

[Spalea]

Interesting account about the third t-rex's skeleton "Cope" discovered in 1999. It would be the heaviest, more than Sue and Scotty other famous t-rex whose a great part of the skeleton was previously discovered.

" The true size of Tyrannosaurus rex is hotly debated. Tyrannosaurus rex is the megatheropod with the largest sample size, which may lead to finding the biggest specimens. The gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex specimen E.D. Cope, “Copium rex,” may be the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen yet described in the literature. This video takes measurements from paleontologists and uses them to calculate how big was the biggest Tyrannosaurus. E.D. Cope was likely bigger than Scotty, Sue, Trix, and almost any other theropod. With new estimates placing it at approximately 1500 kilograms heavier than even the dentary Giganotosaurus specimen. " Reply
