I got a first-gen iPad from a friend recently and was horrified how difficult the art section of my web site was to use on it without constantly pinch-zooming. so, mainly to save myself some annoyance when needing to grab links from it, I got a chance this weekend to tidy things up a bit. Yeah, I was annoyed when news sites like MSNBC started making everything on their site frigging *huge* to accommodate tablets and smart phones (looks a bit ridiculous on a normal laptop screen), but in this case I think it improves navigation all around. No more having to pixel hunt just to click the correct species :)

Hey Matt, I was in the middle of some talk about Tyrannosaurus height, and of course your size charts popped up; and comparing the Tyrannosaurus specimens chart with the Largest Theropods one, somebody pointed out that the Tyranno in the theropods one resembled more closely the type than Sue as seen in the Tyrannosaurus one, despite being labeled as the latter. I guess the explanation would account to being just the use of a newer restoration for the Tyranno-specific chart, but I guess asking the artist wouldn't hurt much... :P

That's probably right, in general I'd say the newer charts are more accurate IMO. I will double check when I have a chance. I've been in the process of standardizing my chart template so I can just drag and drop silhouettes between them--I'll see what happens if I plunk the rex from the Rex chart into the Largest Thero chart.

I assume you're looking at the newest Theropods chart with closed-mouths standing postures? Frustratingly the old one with GSP-style silhouettes had been spread pretty widely and is pretty inaccurate.

Yup, it was the most recent one, with the standing pose.

So, I just started working on this and the two tyrannosaurs are actually pretty close to the exact same size in all relevant dimensions (leg, skull, total length). The difference seems to be do to the more extreme posture in the older model (uplifted neck, more down-bent tail). Anyhow, I'm in the process of working on an updated version of the largest theropods chart which will replace the current one on Wiki Commons when it's done.
