Mass prediction in theropod dinosaurs

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted with bi-and multivariate equations based on log transformed appendicular skeleton data that were offered from a sample of 16 theropods which were known from reasonably complete skeletal remains and spanning a wide size range. Body masses of the included taxa are found by displacement methods of scale models, based on measurements taken directly on the mounted skeletons.
