Sarkastodon vs Giganotosaurus, skeletals by blaze and Hartman. AMNH 26641 vs MUCPv-95  Edit: What the heck happened to my size comparison? It was here one second and now it's gone |

I'm pretty sure this one needs a scalebar. This person is hardly visible and has no stated height.

What creature wrote. There’s no stated measurement for the Sarkastodon and no scalebar either. It’s fine if you simply scale it based on blaze’s scaling, but then make it clear what exactly was used for cross-scaling (i.e. if it wasn’t a dimension of the animal itself, that you could list, then it must have been a human or scalebar, which aren’t visible in the picture you posted.
It shows up perfectly fine for me.

Yeah, good point. The Giganotosaurus does have a scalebar but I cropped it out.
If needed, I could rescale but crop out and include the Giganotosaurus scalebar on the side.
Also, why did it disappear? Anyone experiencing that?

The Giganotosaurus isn’t the problem, as it’s clear from what’s written in the picture what size it is supposed to be. But it’s unclear what size the Sarkastodon is scaled to.

What I meant by that was that the Giganotosaurus has a 1 meter scalebar with it; maybe when I remake it I could separately crop and include it.
Having said that, the Sarkastodon seems to have a ~40 cm skull, going by 166 cm for the Giganotosaurus skull

That’s reasoned the wrong way around. I know the skull is suppopsed to be 44 cm long (but you probably cannot measure it that precisely in your image), but you should include the size you scaled them based on (the size they are supposed to be) not the one they happen to end up.
If anything you should say that you scaled it to 44 cm skull length. But once again, it’s not really possible to measure that precisely in an image with such poor resolution, so I hope you scaled them based on something better than that.

I actually scaled them based on the height of the people in both size charts. That was just an alternate guess for dimensions.

CM 9380 Tyrannosaurus rex (11.9 meters, 7.5 tonnes) vs OMNH 1670 Apatosaurus (28 meters and ~52 tonnes based on this GDI). Bear in mind the estimated adult OMNH 1670 would be about twice as big. Skeletals are by Hartman; I suggest ignoring the apatosaur scalebar as I've upsized it to 20% more than what the scalebar says  |

Are the squares our scalebar then? Because their corners are about as long as the scalebar we are supposed to ignore.

Maybe the scalebar really WAS to scale with the dimensions after all.
I suppose either one would work, then

Apatosaurus is about 4 m too short. If the T. rex (418.8px) is 11.9 m, then the Apatosaurus (834.7px) is 23.7 m, not 28 m.

Max Palaeoloxodon antiquus (4.2 meters SH, 15 tonnes) vs adult OMNH 1670 Apatosaurus (~37 meters TL and a bit over 100 tonnes). Skeletals are by Larramendi and Hartman respectively; black scalebar on bottom left is 1 meter  |

Apatosaurus is 789.6 px long, 8.225* the elephant’s 96 px shoulder height. If the elephant is 4.2 m tall, the Apatosaurus is 34.5 m.
