Guy at the conference I’m attending: “you work on tyrannosaurs? What do you think of Asiatyrannus and Raptorex getting nano’d into Tarbosaurus?” Me:

@MiloGaillard3 @TheAnimalCrewz Furthermore, Illustrations are and have been the primary way for researchers to figure their papers, even after photographic print. Which is why you don’t typically see major criticisms of papers such as Currie (2003).

@TM9380 Yea I think most people for some reason have this idea that Tarbosaurus is only in the 10 meter range, when they most definitely were average rex sized.

@GormRaun Been trying to remind folks for years they’ve underestimated how big Tarbosaurus is

Fun little size est. about Tarbosaurus, the largest femur known has a circumference of 480 mm (MPC-D 107/2), giving a weight estimate following Campione et al. (2014) of 5.02 tonnes. Scaling PIN 551-1 from that gives a circumference range of 552 to 568 mm... 7.39 to 8.01 tonnes.

Similarly sized Tyrannosaurus skulls have femurs ranging from 520 to 580 mm in circumference, fyi. Giving a weight range of 6.25 to 8.46 tonnes.

@NatSciChannel MOST large dinosaurs probably had comparably large ranges. What differs for Eastern/Central Asia is that at this time slice we have multiple depositional basins, not just one local one.

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨 A new attempt at sinking Raptorex - new study finds that Asiatyrannus and Raptorex don't really have enough diagnostic non-ontogenetically related traits to be considered unique genera, and share too many traits with Tarbosaurus. 🎨: below

@tylerstoneart @raptor_chatter @TM9380 I think it’s easy to see Raptorex as more basal when the original reconstruction depicted it as such, the individual bones however, just won’t be uniquely different from Tarbo

@tylerstoneart @raptor_chatter @TM9380 My own insight: I had the opportunity to assess over 25 Tarbo skulls and I’ve yet to see a Rapto character that isn’t also in at least some Tarbos, it’s a really variable taxon, which I got into at SVP in Birmingham 1/2

@GormRaun @ChaseBrownstein Like its not weird because Nano T isn't directly involved, its weird because "why aren't the authors citing the two studies that raised some of the biggest ramifications in diagnosing tyrannosaurs this decade"

@Deform2022 I have yet to see a specimen of any Spinosaurus complete enough that they are suitable for such a comparison, hopefully we will in the future

@GormRaun The two actually do overlap in several areas, such as the neural spines, dorsals, caudals, and dentary. The real issue is that no official comparison between the overlapping elements was ever made.
