I think its just the best idea to use more up to date comparisons palaeontology is always changing and anything that is not very recent is normally outdated in some ways. Tons of people use sites such as this and Carnivora for research regarding these animals and their sizes if we use more recent and more accurate stuff that means more people can come across it and share it around, so we don't get people using truly terribly outdated stuff such as this crap from 2014 www.deviantart.com/namdaotetanurae/art/Biggest-theropods-485331617That is a terribly inaccurate comparison yet its constantly still making the rounds around the internet and people actually believe it. Someone used it as evidence to me that Spinosaurus could still probably mass around 15 tons and be around 18 meters long yet with the evidence we have and with the proportions of Spinosaurus that kind of weight is impossible yet in 2019 people still think this kind of stuff is accurate its pretty funny but also really sad and it gets really annoying. |

jdangerousdinosaurYou do have a point, but the Oxalaia and Daspletosaurus specimens still hold water, do they not? I have seen nothing suggesting they'd be inaccurate

jdangerousdinosaur You do have a point, but the Oxalaia and Daspletosaurus specimens still hold water, do they not? I have seen nothing suggesting they'd be inaccurate I tend to avoid using Oxalaia in anything tbh because so little is known about it im pretty sure the limited evidence we had for it was sadly lost in a fire, so we really can not say how large it was or what its overall proportions are we don't even know for sure if its own genus some people just say its Spinosaurus. More recent drawings or diagrams for Oxalaia show it with proportions similar to Spinosaurus so it has shorter back legs and stuff upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Oxalaia_quilombensis_by_PaleoGeek_2018.jpg/800px-Oxalaia_quilombensis_by_PaleoGeek_2018.jpg the one you posted obviously does not use them proportions because its more outdated but like previously stated we really do not know enough about it to really know what it looked like. |

Lost in a fire? Oh, that doesn’t help anything.
And yes, Oxalaia is fairly fragmentary. Maybe this is a better way to put it:

As far as i know yeh it was all lost in a fire quite a few fossils were lost to it but yeah Oxalaia is to fragmentary to really know anything concrete about it so it's probably the best just to use Spinosaurus.
