35,000 newtons is a pretty common figure for T. rex bite force, 3 and 6 tons are most commonly used

I have seen four and six, but not three. Four tons used to be very popular before six tonnes came in.

3 and 6 tons have all I have seen and they are clearly the most popular from what I have seen

I only used to see 4 tons, but never heard of 3 tons.

I heard of the 3 ton estimate from RaptorX

As a guess, I'd say 4-6 tons is quite accurate.

Or maybe 3 tons as an absolute lower bound

That sounds more like the force it would apply by shutting its jaws with an average force.

I would say that particular force would be around 2 tons.

I would make it a range, ~2-3 tons.

Yea.

Considering that we have very little information on Carcharodontoaurus saharicus, this can be quite hard to decide. But since both are in the same tribe, Giganotosaurini, I'd say this is a draw.

Its a complete draw, they are so similar neither have a good advantage over each other.
