Description
My old reconstruction of the skull of Sue was quite bad, so I updated it. Lion for scale.References: Brochu, C. A. (2003). Osteology of Tyrannosaurus rex: insights from a nearly complete skeleton and high-resolution computed tomographic analysis of the skull. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 22(sup4), 1-138.

but no, these holes are the cause of a bone-eating disease that birds also get.

Is it called Jaw bone cavitation?
Im reading it now and it says its a condition when the bone doesnt get enough of a blood supply.

I thought that was a meme from some guy here that they were marks of a parasite.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question.Β

They discovered an incomplete T.rex skeleton that is estimated to be far larger than Sues.

There's a supposed one of those every year or so. They always turn out smaller.

Scotty and Sue are both pretty much the same size i.imgur.com/B3CQnnwg.jpgΒ its just Scotty has larger and thicker weight bearing elements such as its femur hips and shoulder bones. Scotty does surpass Sue in quite a few measurements Fran did do a spreadsheet that listed all the skeletal elements where Scotty surpassed Sue but I can't locate it at the mo.

Lijkt me ook zeer indrukwekkend, als je kijk naar wat dieren als leeuwen en tijgers al allemaal voor een krachtpatsers zijn...

Een groep tyrannosaurussen lijkt me het dichtste wat het mesozoicum bij biologische terreur kwam, 1 rex ok 2-6 rexen nee bedankt

Dit doet me ergens wel twijfelen aan dat hele "grote theropoden zouden mensen niet aanzien als prooi omdat ze te klein zijn" gedoe.

Ja daar klopt waarschijnlijk niks van, we zijn minder moeite dan 99% van grotere prooien.

Ik dacht het al. Ik bedoel, het is nu niet dat we zeer snelle lopers zijn die veel energie vragen om te gegeten te kunnen worden.Β

En het grootste deel van grotere prooien als Edmontosaurus zouden ze toch nooit op krijgen.

It is ~144cm long, charts like this make stuff look a lot smaller than it does irl.

still gigantic but still

I thought SueΒ΄s skull was like 1.53-1.58 m when uncrushed, with 1.44m being the crushed state it is in.

Reconstructions differ, and there are some in that ballpark, others tend to favour the 144 cm figure.
