    Tyrannotitan vs Giganotosaurus

    Please no more fragmentary creatures like this 😔🫵🏻

      Tyrannotitan is known from decent remains by fossil standards, and enough of carcharodontosauridea is known to make a realistic, educated guess.

      @@paleoscinkus542 I’m sorry, but that’s definitely not true. Look at a rigorous skeletal, its skull is basically up to guess completely. We also don’t know if it had the enlarged toe claw of Meraxes either.

      @@AndyCog_1710 That also isn’t entirely true. Sure, the shape of its skull isn’t fully known, but the preserved elements (being a dentary and some jugal bones) do provide some basis to compare with other carcharodontosaurids. As for the enlarged toe claw we aren’t sure, but it seems unlikely. It has some preserved phalanges with one reportedly being from the second toe, and doesn’t bare much resemblance to Meraxes. This reconstruction isn’t too speculative to where it feels like a fictional creature, there’s a solid foundation for reality and this is quite good.

      @@paleoscinkus542 I mean, being a Giganotosaurini ofc it’s going to look roughly similar to the others, which is what PNSO did. But having the dentary and part of the jugal isn’t getting us anywhere to figure out how its skull looked like as a whole. Getting to know the upper half of the skull helps way more than a dentary and scraps of the jugal. As for the enlarged toe claw, unlikely or not, we don’t know about that either. If that part of Meraxes hadn’t been discovered, nobody would have guesses that a huge carcharodontosaurid like that would have had a sickle-claw. There’s just too much material missing from Tyrannotitan to restore it accurately. So I think it’s a shame a creature as poorly known as it is receiving attention instead of the many many dinosaurs we know a good deal about and still haven’t gotten made 👍🏻
      The Tyrannotitan figure is beautiful, but so are PNSO figures in general, so it’s better to focus on creatures that have enough material to warrant accurate depictions
