it is very hard for me to type on the ipad and to post links. Here you have a link hat shows how allosaurus used his head like an axe. http://dsc.discovery.com/dinosaurs/allosaurus.html
This kind of just dawned on me, but Spinosaurus has jaws similar to those of a false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) which is a species of crocodile; amusingly enough, a search using the terms "false gharial bite force" turns up a discussion on the bite force of Spinosaurus as the first result.
Anyway, crocodiles have the strongest bite force out of any animal, so one could potentially extrapolate that to infer that Spinosaurus also had an extremely powerful bite, right?
I totally agree that is decent inference and one I had thought, but didn't say publicly on here. I appreciate you mentioning what you googled as I'm going to google that right now, and that's what this thread should really be about. Offering up info. and hopefully teaching someone something and you just did as I didn't know about the similarities between specifically Tomistoma and the Spino. I knew comparisons where made, but never knew the exact species it was compared to. So thanx on that one bro.
Wiggles do you happen to keep any herps?
No. you post a thread such as this, without thing to back you up, makes everyone believe your talking out your anus.
Back your statements up, at least make them belivable.
yes in a way. Its upper jaw teeth are extremly sharp. The jaw can open very wide to get the lower jaw out of the was. It hammered its head down into the meat and sliced through it. The neck was extremly powerful. It was very effective method.

Sorry koltsix. I type on my ipad. Its not so easy to type on that and i would prefer to type on a computer. I will answer your questions, when at home.![]()
buddy, just to inform you i have a life and work. That is a forum for fun here. I tell you what i know and explain it for you. I won't write a 800 sites thesis down here nor will i write down all the scources where i got my informations. You either take it like i say it or let it be. deal?You can easily read into my thesis yourself if you want further informations. The axe hunting for example is described on various scientific publications.
And "buddy," if you have something to bring to the table, then bring it. Don't bring an ipad and use it as an excuse. You promised to answer questions, and just brushed him off with "i have a life and work."it is very hard for me to type on the ipad and to post links.

"Buddy," maybe my English is not so good, but from the link, allosaurus did not use its head like an axe like the way you thought or described, "hammered its head down into mead and sliced through it." It more likes how python use its teeth, curve toward inside its mouth, to lock the pray in its mouth and let the lower jaw do the work of ripping and tearing...
