Okay, I always thought that spinosaurus had a head 8 feet long, but I guess you don't agree.

8 feet long? Nope, it's more like to 1,58 m according to new estimate by Hartman.

That's only five feet! A five foot long thin skull on a sixty foot body.

Spinosaurus at 18 m is likely exagerrated. It need a very long tail. More like to 16 m.

But still, it would be short. T. rex had a 5 foot skull, and it was 40 feet long. Giganotosaurus had a 6 foot skull, and 46 feet long, so wouldn't Spino at least have a skull of 7 feet long? It follows the pattern, and Spino has an extra long skull anyways.

Gig's skull is 1,6 m actually. Btw, Spinosaurids has a proportionally short skull, while Tyrannosaurids and Carcharodontosaurids were quite big-headed.

1.8 m skull for Spino is probable [img]http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/125/4/a/spinosaurus_largest_of_the_large_by_theropod1-d6461nd.jpg[/img] Giganotosaurus [img]http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/122/b/3/giganotosaurus_longest_theropod_skull__by_theropod1-d63ulyu.jpg[/img] Mapusaurus [img]http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/190/5/b/new_giant_carnosaur_by_theropod1-d63onga.jpg[/img] Carcharodontosaurus [img]http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/190/5/3/giant_monitor_lizard____by_theropod1-d63hk3x.jpg[/img] Tyrannosaurus [img]http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/125/9/a/t__rex__the_most_iconic_skull_ever_by_theropod1-d63cbk8.jpg[/img] Saurophaganax [img]http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/118/a/0/huge_allosaur_skulls_by_theropod1-d63bksf.jpg[/img]

Spinosaurs do have proportionally short skulls, about 1/10 of their body.

Tyrannosaurs and carcharodontosaurs don't have really long skulls. Their's are more robust and more massive. Here's a short list in my book... Tyrannosaurus- 5-6 ft Giganotosaurus-5-6.5 ft Carcharodontosaurus-5-6 ft Spinosaurus- 6-7 ft Very rough list, but hopefully it get's the point across ;)

I thought that you said that iga had a skull slightly larger than Carcharadontosaurus. I just retread your comment, never mind

Actually, carcharodontosaurs and tyrannosaurs do have large skulls in proportion to body and spinosaurs has short skulls, roughly 1/10 of their length, maybe a bit more. MSNM v4047 had a 6+ foot skull (only up to 6.5), Sue had a 5 foot skull, C. rex had a potentially 5.4 foot skull, Paratype Giga had a 6 foot two to four inch skull, Carcharodontosaurus SGM DIN-1 has a Giga sized skull scaling from Acrocanthosaurus but scaling from Giga his skull is smaller. 6 feet sounds good. T. Rex's skull is 1/8 of its body length Giga's is a little more than 1/7 Spino's is a little more than 1/10. Giga has potentially the longest skull in relation to body. Look at Spino and Giga here with their skulls.

I guess Spinosaurs gave up jaw for massive arms. Those things in jp3 are HUGE!!

Hmm, this will help with the disscusion. [img]http://www.reocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Galaxy/8152/PALEOBOOKCCSUCHOREXSKULLS.JPG[/img] Man, I thought Spino had a much larger head.
