GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This dinosaur’s muscular body stretched as long as 40 feet-about the size of a school bus-from its snout to the tip of its powerful tail. Weighing up to eight tons, T. rex stomped headfirst across its territory on two strong legs.

Detailed explanation-2: -We all know that the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex was big. But palaeontologists in Canada have just identified the biggest lizard tyrant king yet – its name is Scotty! The enormous dinosaur, which was 42 feet long and weighed 19, 400 pounds, roamed prehistoric Saskatchewan 66 million years ago.

Detailed explanation-3: -Did you know? The animatronic T. rex that starred in Jurassic Park was 6 metres high, 12 metres long and weighed close to 6 tonnes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Giganotosaurus vs T-Rex: Size The Giganotosaurus weighed about 17, 600 pounds, stood 20 feet high, and was about 45 feet long. The T-Rex maxed out the scale at 15, 000 pounds but was also 20 feet tall and 40 feet in length. The comparison is close, but the Giganotosaurus is the bigger beast and has an advantage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Using a computer model, scientists now show that with a bone spanning this IMJ, T. rex could have generated bite forces of more than 6 metric tons. That’s about the mass of a large male African elephant.
