I strongly doubt Paracrax hit Brontornis-tier 880lbs. |

How is it that we can distinguish the gender of T-rex but none of the any other dinosaurs? Like we have sue who is a confirmed female and many other specimens which apparently were known to be male or female. (Tristan= Male, Jane=Female, Wyrex=Male etc.) |

The only T. rex we know for sure (insert quote on quote) to be a female is B- rex since it apparently preserved medullary tissue. The other individuals on the other hand can't be properlly identified as male or female. |

Just because the skeletons were nicknamed male or female names does not make them so. It's usually a reference to the person that discovered it or sponsors the excavation. |

I don't exactly understand what the context of your "insert quote-on-quote" is though. |

The context is that when the findings were first reported (before the actual paper from 2016 was released) a lot of scientist proofed skeptical. So in anticipation of the likely back and forth that will happen between those who claim that Medullary bone in non avian Dinosaurs was only present in pregnant females as in modern birds and those who will claim that some reptiles have it outside pregnancy, I decided to step back and choose no sides in wheter or not the presence of medullary bone is a clear indicative that an animal was a female in non avian Dinosaurs.

Well, isn't that Hesperorsaurus found to have gender difference based on the plate shape? |

SO apparently Saurophaganax is in the process of being discontinued and will now be considered A. Maximus I say this because of a comment left by a member of another forum. Does anybody have any proof of this or anything to argue against it? Or even a paper or article describing it? |

Allosaurus as a genus is a mess. That is all. |

As a strong believer that Saurophaganax maximus should be A. maximus; this ^ |
