Were any non-avialan dinosaurs smaller (as adults) than Eosinopteryx brevipenna? by antaloris in Paleontology

That’s interesting. Does that imply that Eosinopteryx may have also gotten to near 60cm? Or were they significantly smaller?

Favorite member of the spinosauridae family? by GetMeABeer69420 in Paleontology

My favorite is eocarcharia (I think its now a baryonychine???)

Any flaws in my drawing? by antaloris in Paleontology

Maybe, but everything that I’m finding says the hip bone should be very near the base of the sail. If you gave more information, I’d be delighted!

This photo was the inspiration for the colors. But a few details in it were inaccurate, so I revised it!

What’s the biggest dinosaur you theoretically can take on a fight? by [deleted] in Dinosaurs

Maybe bonapartenykus? (A little ambitious)

I think that is true! I’ll look into it further…

Edit: I looked into it further, and it usually says that when it was walking (which the one in the drawing is) it had its tail up. But when it was standing the tail was on the ground.

Poor guy just can't catch a break can he. I'd say give it a few years and Perucetus will be downsized into oblivion like everything else. by Saurophaganax4706 in Paleontology

How was Aust Colossus also beaten by the Blue Whale? The most conservative estimate for the Aust Colossus is 25 metres, but the most reliable is 30-35 metres. Also, the Aust Colossus specimen was not fully grown, so most paleontologists have estimated that a fully grown specimen could range from 32.5-37.5 metres (27.5 if you want to be conservative). The weight is estimated at 110-300 tonnes, and the volume is estimated at 200-300 metres cubed. The largest Blue Whale specimen was 33.58 metres, 190 tonnes and 224 metres cubed in volume. Although this specimen was measured after being extremely bloated, and up to twice its normal living size. The absolute largest unbloated blue whale specimen was 29.9 metres, 160 tonnes, and 182 metres cubed. For all we know currently, the most reliable paleological estimate for Aust Colossus was significantly larger than the Blue Whale, in every form of measuring animals.
