My uneducated guess is 8 tons. Is that right on the money?

Like 40-ish feet long, 20 feet tall when rearing up and weighed around 8 tons.

The weight sounds about right but the length may be smaller. If i remember correctly only a couple of specimens get to 40+ feet long but a lot are around 35-38

Also theropod height is measured at the hips

We have like 7 decently complete fossils. Out of which 4 (Sue, Scotty, Victoria, Stan) are 40 feet long or close to that mark. Given how rare fossilization is, I think that number is enough to suggest a good chunk of them reached 40 feet.

It's crazy how fucking hard it is to find size estimates for any specimen that isn't Sue or Scotty. I had to go through some sketchy sites to find something for Trix, and I have practically given up on Wyrex.

Are there any perfectly understood to have been bigger than 40 feet? i swear when Scotty was new they said it was 13 meters long (about 43 feet) but now i see him mentioned more often as 12 (40 feet)

Anon don't say that you are going to make him ramble for weeks about theropod posture again
