biggest predators (Allosauridae wins)

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

Juergen,
    I assume they are saying "Monster von Minden" is ca. 150% the size of 
Allosaurus fragilis.   Sounds like this puts it very close to the size of 
Allosaurus amplexus.
    Therefore, I have to conclude that Family Allosauridae wins as biggest 
theropods in both the Jurassic and Cretaceous.
                 ------Ken Kinman
P.S.  At least for now anyway.  Could be challenged by new forms of 
tyrannosaurid, megalosaurid, or spinosaurid.
