Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of the remains found so far. Estimates for the most complete specimen range from a length of 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft), a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to ...
ischium The ischium (plural: ischia) is one of three bones comprising the pelvis, and located below the ilium and behind the pubis. It is a rod-like element with an expanded shelf at its proximal end, the obturator plate, that makes contact with the ilium and pubis (a corresponding obturator plate is also found in the pubis). As the pubis, the ...
The pelvis was incomplete, containing both pubes and the left ischium. The ischium is uniquely pointed almost directly horizontally. The ischium is uniquely pointed almost directly horizontally. The pubes were likely nearly 1 metre (3.3 ft) when fully preserved, with thin shafts that were transversely expanded at the anterior ends where they ...
The animatronic Giganotosaurus from "Jurassic World: Dominion" was the largest practical head built for any "Jurassic Park" film. The practical and digital effects teams worked hand in hand to ...
Scale diagram comparing a human and the longest-known dinosaurs of five major clades An adult male bee hummingbird, the smallest known and the smallest living dinosaur. Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists.
Currie has published multiple papers on the cranial anatomy of various dinosaurs. Together with Rodolfo Coria, he published a detailed description of the braincase of the large carcharodontosaurid Giganotosaurus carolinii in 2003, which led him to believe that Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were very closely related genera.

The ischium (/ ˈ ɪ s k i. ə m /; [1] pl.: ischia) forms the lower and back region of the hip bone (os coxae). Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis , it is one of three regions whose fusion creates the coxal bone .
Ornithischia (/ ˌ ɔːr n ə ˈ θ ɪ s k i. ə /) is an extinct clade of mainly herbivorous dinosaurs characterized by a pelvic structure superficially similar to that of birds. [6] The name Ornithischia, or "bird-hipped", reflects this similarity and is derived from the Greek stem ornith-(ὀρνιθ-), meaning "bird", and ischion (ἴσχιον), [a] meaning "hip". [7]
