New diagram with Tyrannosaurus Rex "Scotty" proportions .

[edit]

Hi, I am an Italian Wikipedia user and I have enjoyed your work on dinosaur diagrams. I kindly wanted to ask you if you could update them with the dimensions of the Tyrannosaurus Rex "Scotty", the largest and most massive ever found. "Scotty" is roughly one meter longer than "Sue", so 13.3 meters long and weighed 8.8 tons. I would be very grateful if you could update the diagrams with the Tyrannosaurus Rex with the proportions of "Scotty" and not of "Sue". Also, if possible, you could add the "new discovery" of the tail to the Spinosaurus design. Thanks in advance... Roberto d'Angiò (talk) 11:31, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spinosaurus have been updated already. With Tyrannosaurus matter is more complicated, judging from bone measurements Scotty MAY be bigger than Sue but the diffrence is probably marginal, 13 meter stated in media is probably exergated (look for example at this diagram https://www.deviantart.com/randomdinos/art/Tyrannosaurus-rex-skeletal-reconstructions-759469239). Given the uncertainty if Scotty is really bigger than Sue I think there is no need update my diagrams with T-rex.KoprX (talk) 12:42, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your kind reply ... Yes, actually I saw the modification of the Spinosaurus tail, I apologize, I hadn't seen it yet. About the difference between "Sue" and "Scotty", until now it seemed to me, from the paleontologists' statements, that the second one was clearly longer and more robust than "Sue". Of course, the link you sent me actually shows that the difference between the two was not so important, even if it always gives "Scotty" the advantage. However, in general, I do not understand one thing: how when we talk ,for example, of the Giganotosaurus, of which we have not complete evidence of the proportions, because the incomplete skeleton, it is certainly given a higher dimension, compared to those of the Tyrannosaurus, where paleontologists assume in the same way that the T.rex could reach 14 meters. I believe that in the diagrams the T.Rex, especially after the complete discovery of "Scotty", should measure 13 meters. Anyway I absolutely don't want to force your hand. Thank you anyway for your work, it is very well done. Roberto d'Angiò (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
