Daspletosaurus
Hi, Rex Fan 684! You added to the Daspletosaurus article the information that a specimen had been found, "Pete", that was eleven metres long. However, apart from the fact that it is preferable to use published size estimates, it seems that this exemplar, "Pete III", is in fact smaller. Its excavators indicated the ilium to be 1115 mm long: http://www.trieboldpaleontology.com/pete-3-update/ which would equal an axial length plus skull of 9.5 to 10 metres. Later they also state it is about ten feet shorter than Sue, itself 12.8 metres long. Extrapolating from Sue's ilium of 146 centimetres would indeed result in a 9.8 metres long animal.
