I do know this is Riordan wiki and that is why I put this thread on the off topic board because it is off topic. Also, if you are using size to determine the strongest dinosaur, then Amphicoelias would be the strongest as it is over 60 metres long and weighs over 120 tonnes which means that it's almost twice as big and heavy as Argentinosaurus. And a pack of Mapusaurus or Giganotosaurus can kill an Argentinosaurus. This is my list:

If we are talking about predators, then it should be like this in my opinion.

1. T rex: A large meat eating predator that might have hunted in packs, the largest T rex fossil found was 14 metres while the most complete was 12 metres. T rex had a terrifying bite force with it's 54 serrated teeth. It's bite force was over 13, 000 lbs which is about the weight of a medium to large sized elephant sitting down. T rex had short arms but these can still be used to grab prey and can lift up to 10 tonnes of weight!

2. Carcharodontosaurus/Mapusaurus/Giganotosaurus: All of these dinos are over a metre longer than T rex and are powerful predators. Carcharodontosaurus is a single hunter and it competed with a lot of dinosaurs for food including Spinosaurus. It had strong claws and a lethal bite. Both Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus are closely related hunting down Titanosaurs in South America. They both hunted in packs to bring down huge sauropods like Argentinosaurus and Titanosaurus. They both had a bite force of about 5000 lbs and had strong arms and claws but neither of them were really smart, with a brain the size of a banana.

3. acrocanthosaurus/Tarbosaurus: A huge 12 metre long dinosaur that had a deadly bite, lived in the early cretaceous period and and hunted on dinosaurs like Sauropodsia and was able to actually bring the giant sauropod down. Tarbosaurus was a giant deadly killing machine that lived in Mongolia. It was basically a smaller version of T rex except with a slightly weaker bite force.
