Synopsis of Social media discussions
The posts reflect a moderate level of interest and engagement, with users debating the accuracy of weight estimates and referencing other research works, such as Bates et al. 2009, to contextualize their points. The tone is inquisitive but somewhat critical, emphasizing clarification over impact, which suggests the discussions are informative but not transformative.
Agreement
Neither agree nor disagreeThe discussion shows some disagreement, especially regarding the source of data and the weight estimates of different T. rex specimens, indicating mixed opinions rather than strong consensus.
Interest
Moderate level of interestParticipants demonstrate moderate curiosity about the research methods and data, referencing other papers and trying to compare findings.
Engagement
Moderate level of engagementDebates about publication details and comparisons of specimen weights reveal active participation, although the depth remains limited to clarifications and referencing past studies.
Impact
Neutral impactThe conversations seem localized around clarifying facts and understanding specifics, with no indication of broad implications or significant influence on the field.

Also Wankel rex is also an adult and it's not nearly as heavy as Stan. Wankel and Acro are both ~6 tons in this paper.

@Sketchy_raptor Does it means their weight is almost the same? ( at least for some T. rex specimens) I remember a paper once dress with this subject before https://t.co/WG32uRinS0

Soft Tissue Preservation Insights from Edmontosaurus Study
A recent study on an Edmontosaurus mummy reveals that soft tissue preservation can occur without extreme conditions like rapid burial. This specimen shows well-preserved skin and nails, indicating that desiccation and incomplete scavenging enhanced preservation.

Abstract Synopsis
- This study uses laser scanning and 3D computer models to estimate the mass, centers of mass, and body dynamics of five dinosaur specimens, including T. rex and other species, by creating detailed digital skeletal models.
- The researchers reconstruct soft tissues around the skeleton to analyze how different body and organ volumes affect mass estimates, conducting sensitivity analyses to account for uncertainties.
- Results show wide ranges in estimated masses and body movement parameters, but consistently indicate that the center of mass is located below and in front of the hip joint across all examined specimens.]
