There would have been large allosaurid predators around these guys - are any known from the area and time period? If they have not yet been formally described, mention should be made that 'teeth have been found ...' yada-yada in the article. 50.111.22.143 ( talk) 17:30, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
"Its size is difficult to estimate due of the scarcity of its remains, but modern estimates place it around 30 meters (98 feet) long and 50 metric tons (55 short tons) in mass."
It was discovered in 2001. 18 years isn't enough time to differentiate an older and a modern era. It would be better to use the term current. -- The Vital One ( talk) 00:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
