Many of you may have heard of UCMP 137538, the T. rex specimen known from metatarsals only. Many support it as a ~17 metre specimen. But the fact we only have metatarsals makes scaling impossible, since some specimens, like BHI 3033, actually have large feet. So what do you guys think?  |

I think its just a result of bad scaling, I am sure we have found T. rexes around sue's size but not significantly larger as they have mostly been the result of invalid scaling.

I don't think we should try scaling this specimen, we only have the metatarsals that don't look much like FMNH PR 2081's metatarsals, and we don't know their exact placement.
