Re: [dinosaur] Tyrannosaurs larger than Sue

"I would like to ask if there is some comprehensive source citing all finds of especially large T. rex specimens that could perhaps rival "Sue" in size."

The answer is "no, there no such comprehensive source as yet."

Good day,

I´ve heard a rumours about Zhuchengtyrannus quarry tyrannosaurid vertebrae that were supposedly as large or even larger than those of FMNH PR2081 (Sue). I would like to ask if there is some comprehensive source citing all finds of especially large T. rex specimens that could perhaps rival "Sue" in size. Thank you in advance, Tom
