The discussions highlight the importance of accurate dinosaur body mass estimation for understanding biomechanics and evolution, suggesting significant scientific impact.
Abstract in brief
The study discusses two main methods for estimating the body mass of nonavian dinosaurs: volumetric density (VD) and extant scaling (ES), with VD being more common and evolving from physical models to advanced 3D virtual techniques.
Both methods aim to understand dinosaur biology and ecology, but they are often used based on specific research questions, with VD suited for biomechanical studies and ES for evolutionary and ecological analyses.
The research finds that while mass estimates from both approaches are generally consistent, about 73% of VD estimates fall within the expected range of ES predictions, but many outliers tend to underestimate the mass, highlighting the need for careful interpretation of results.]
Very excited to share @DavidEvans_ROM and my new paper on body mass estimation in fossils published today in Biological Reviews! Using #dinosaurs of course. https://t.co/dxVyhSi7hR
Ever tried to weigh a #dinosaur? Here’s how you do it. Excited about our new paper led by lab alum @PaleoNic. Volume Density & Extant scaling produce more similar results than you might think & thats a good thing. Check it out! @ROMtoronto https://t.co/XYExoUzHY9

This study compares volumetric density and extant scaling methods for estimating dinosaur body mass, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each approach for understanding dinosaur biology and ecology.
A new species, Meraxes gigas, enhances understanding of evidence for forelimb reduction and evolutionary patterns in large predatory dinosaurs of the Early Cretaceous.
@Martingo94 @Destroyer397 La media de Tarbo es de entre 5 a 7 ton, y el peso es una variable muy importante, ya que indica más fuerza, el Tarbo básicamente agarra al styraco del cuerno y lo zambalea, en el caso del puercoespin, este tiene todo su área, no solo la cabeza como styra

@RizkiusMaulanae @MbvBaryonix Sure here it is (I should probably give it a reread myself once I get the chance).

@suzanahh Campione & Evans have an excellent recent review paper on dinosaur mass estimation, by the way:

The bone circumference method, which can be applied on the above mentioned Jainosaurus specimen, only that no one has done it yet, is given in detail by Campione & Evans 2020 https://t.co/EVeHXYa1pN for anyone interested
@DanPalaeon1 Campione and Evans (2020) claimed that this estimate is skeptical, which I think everyone would agree, for skull growth may not be equal to overall body growth as observed in some dinosaurs and long skull doesn’t mean that the animal had large body. https://t.co/o51I2cTWE6

Of course the 7 tonnes estimate here isn't significantly different from previous ones, certainly not half the size.

Great new mass estimation study: turns out, volumetric & scaling methods are complimentary - giving precision & accuracy!
