which is WHY she is slightly slimmer in build compared to typical T.rex - since she actually weighs about 9 metric tons. Then - Rexy at 13.4 meters/44 feet long - is only about 7.3 % longer than the average adult T.rex - and should weigh about 9.4-9.5 metric tons(about 23.7 % above average).īut then remember - that Rexy is a genetic engineered and modified T.rex.
Trix would be about 4.8% longer(13.1 meters/43 feet), and about 15% heavier(8.7 metric tons) than an average adult T.rex. Then - Sue would be about 3.2%(12.9 meters/42.3 feet) above average in length, about 10% above average in weight (8.4 metric tons). If the average "living" T.rex is about 12.5 meters/41 feet long, and weighs about 7.6 metric tons. So using your comparison of the size of T.rex to the size of women. So in life -"she" would have been about 13.1 meters/43 feet long. "She" is also estimated to be about 12.5 meters/41 feet in skeletal length. A specimen known as Trix is about 70-75% complete (2nd to Sue), and is known to be at least 30 years old. And while Sue is the most complete adult T.rex - "she" is not the oldest, and likely is not the largest. An average adult "living" T.rex would have been about 12.5 meters/41 feet long. So in life - Sue would have been about 12.9 meters/42.3 feet long in life. So to find out what Sue or any other dinosaur was like in life - you need to add 5% to it's length and height. This is due to the soft tissue(skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage), which of course does not usually fossilize. Okay - first off you are comparing a "living" T,rex (Rexy) to a T.rex skeleton (Sue) - so the length figures, and weight estimates are not accurate.Īccording to findings from the hadrosaur mummies - Dakota (Edmontosaurus) and Leonardo(Brachylophosaurus), paleontologists have been underestimating the length of dinosaurs by about 5%.
