Size
[edit]" Its body length is disputed, being projected as large as 11m to as small as 2 - 3m." That is quite a discrepancy in size estimates! Firsfron of Ronchester 01:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- I doubt that's correct. The only source listed here a minute ago says 2-3m. Dinoguy2 01:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like it's based solely on a pubis, anyway. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- The eleven metre estimate is from Collins Guide to Dinosaurs and apparently even ended up in Glut. I can't explain it except as originating in some typographical error combined with a general notion that Carnosauria were all big. But two to three metres is simply too small; if it were a dromaeosaurid a 514 mm pubis would indicate a body length of over four metres, even if a piece of the ilium were part of the fragment.--MWAK (talk) 15:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
