Here's the rules of the game. A member asks a question about a dinosaur, and another member answers. Whoever answers correctly gets to ask the next question. Oh and make sure the information is as up to date as possible, meaning nothing like "sauropods lived in water to support their weight" or "T-Rex dragged its tail on the ground".
Okay I will start!
Question: Is tyrannosaurus the biggest carnivore ever to live on land? And if not, which dinosaur holds the record of being the biggest?

No, it isn't. The biggest one was Giganotosaurus. It could grow 15 metres long. There is an estimate that Spinosaurus could grow even bigger than Giganotosaurus, up to 17 metres long.

Which was the first and perhaps only pterosaur to have had two types of teeth, long fang-like ones in the front and short ones in the back of the mouth, making him an ideal fish-catcher?
P.S. Do pterosaurs count?

Yes, pterosaurs count.
As for the answer, I'll try to answer later.

That's okay. I haven't been visiting this board much either. Just been busy mostly.
Here's my next question:
What dinosaur was originally thought to be the largest dromaeosaurid until it was discovered the sickle claw went on the hand, not foot?

Sorry for the delay.
No, sorry. I can provide a hint if you'd like.

What is the name of a species of saurischian that had an advanced chewing mechanism like an ornithiscian, but lived millions before the first known ornithischians?

I was thinking Pisanosaurus. No pelvis of this animal is preserved, but it turns out its remains point to an ornitischian, not a saurischian. So, it turns out no known saurischian has a chewing mechanism comparable to an ornitischian. But it's your turn now. Sorry for the confusing question.
