A new giant theropod

Nice find, and that's a pretty big carnivore.

I have tried to find some information on this animal, but I couldn't find anything, so I'll just go from what you've presented. Looking at the picture it seems like they only had a foot from which they got these massive estimations. I probably don't have to tell anyone how incredibly missleading and inaccurate these estimations are if they really just had a single foot and nothing more.

It's based on footprints, UCMP. That makes it even less credible..

Why do you assume it's Torvosaurine? I find it more plausible that it''s an allosaurid, also...did you do that skeletal? the arms look off..

Here's a paper on it: Click here

ACRO REX - That's an incredibly compelling bit of information! Discering an animal's size and lineage based on small amounts of evidence at first seems a bit forced to me. However, forensic scientists can deduce a staggering amount of information based on incredibly small details! If this new data is accurate, that animal would have been immense - quite the predator! Thank you very much for sharing this with us! :)

Indeed it's a massive predator! i'm curious to see what comes of it..

And @Carnosaur that seems to be an unrelated animal, for this has skeletal remains to go alongside it. That's a footprint...

Anyway, I've dubbed this creature "Torvotitan Moroccanus" The  Moroccan savage titan. Fitting name i would think for such a massive creature

very cool. @ acro rex thats an awesome name. doubt the real name will be a cool as that

Now this is BIG news... :P (sorry for the pun, but I had to).

If this new therapod is indeed THAT long and THAT heavy, it would make our beloved big 4 look puny (for Spinosaurus, probably downright scrawny).

ALPHADINO65 - I wonder how efficient a killer such a carnivore would be - or how fast it would move! Each stride would likely carry it a solid 2 to 2.5 meters while walking! :)

Massive, I wonder if we find more of it and are having spino vs rex vs torvotitan battles. :D

Something Real-I think that inherently is would be a very efficient hunter of large prey, but every predator has a weakness.  As for it's speed, I wouldn't say it would be very fast, probably around 20 mph, but I'd imagine each stride would cover more than 10 feet when walking.

Well, I don't like footprints personally. The print could be distorted or changed in some way. Or the animal might just have big/small feet. If someone saw a giraffe print and didn't know what a giraffe looked like, they'd assume it was a small animal. I doubt they'd think it was 16 ft tall and weighed 3,000 pounds, it just has small feet. Same with a white tail deer. A mature buck could be over 150 pounds, but it's tracks are smaller than your hand. To get an actual dinosaur in this, Australovenator's track size would indicate an animal 8 ft tall at the hip, but it's only 5 ft tall at the hip. Long story short, footprints show how an animal moved, if it was alone or in a group, and some other details, but I don't trust them when it comes to size.

Nice find.
