The 1100 pounds is due to the bone becoming rock; not that the bone weighed 1100 pounds when the dinosaur was using it, right?

I pinged SunkenCiv - our resident FReeper paleontologist, but the jokesters have taken over;)
Guess I’ll have to stick to humor threads.
God bless

Yes, you’re right. Even so did you see the size of it? With a thigh bone that big that critter must have had a ham that would feed a party of 500.

I think that’s right and good catch...
Many of the therapods like Allosaurus had hollow bones, and would have been much lighter I’d think...Fossilization must account for much if not most/all of the reported weight...But can’t let that get in the way of sensational reporting, can we?

Asked my question..seems a bit heavy for even a very big bone.
