Sources differ on estimates of the maximum mass of Spinosaurus, which range from 7,400 kg (8.1 tons) to 20,000 kg (22 tons). In contrast, T. rex weighed 4,000 to 7,000 kg (about 9,000 to 15,000 pounds).

Spinosaurus - Wikipedia
1 day ago - Additionally, some paleontologists have suggested that the proportions of the dorsal vertebrae compared to the legs of FSAC-KK-11888 when compared to the proportions of "Spinosaurus B" illustrate that either the former is a composite (a specimen composed of multiple individuals of the same species)/chimera (a specimen composed of material from two or more species) between an individual known from dorsal vertebrae and an individual known from limb, pelvic, and tail material or that FSAC-KK-11888 is not from Spinosaurus. Between 2015 and 2019, several additional expeditions to the site unearthed additional fossils of FSAC-KK-11888 including many caudal vertebrae, composing about 80% of the tail, elements of the peses and hindlimbs, skull fragments, and more.
