I have to desagree with Carcharodontosaurus being smaller than Deltadromeus. It states in this page that Deltadromeus weighs about 3.5 tones but in the Carcharodontosaurus page it states that Charcharodontosaurus weighs about 4 tones, close in weight but there is still a defferance. I do agree that Deltadromeus being longer. Spinosaur 06:33, 26 March (UTC)

Yeah, "shorter" would be better.Dinoguy2 01:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Which book? The problem might be that he's not including specimens once classified as Bahariasaurus. Dinoguy2 (talk) 23:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


I have e-mailed an Guy from Dinosaur Data Dig.

You don't say whether you prefer imperial or metric measures - so I'll settle for metric:)

Deltadromeus: Length: 900 cm Height: 240 cm Weight: 1500 kg Carnivore; predator of herbivorous dinosaurs.

It is only 8 - 9 m long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.3.113.40 (talk) 15:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Those sound like measurements for the holotype specimen. What about the referred specimens that used to be classified as Bahariasaurus? Dinoguy2 (talk) 21:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
