It only weighed 15,000lbs, so any elephant-class cartridge would do. A side brain or heart/lung shot would be ideal.
If you remember the movie "The Valley of Gwangi",
the cowboys took on a Tyrannosaurus Rex with .30-30s and .45 Colts.

The Valley of Gwangi...now that was a great movie. Thanks George.
As I recall though, ol' Gwangi died in the fire in the cathedral. I think the .45 Long Colts just annoyed him.
Since Kevin Doctari Robertson did not include dinos in his book 'The Perfect Shot' I don't know where the heart is, and we were all taught the brains are the size of a walnut. So I guess I would try for the spine or neck shot with a large NE cartridge, or better yet a .50 BMG.

Nah ... ankle or lower leg. He's only got two and if he's hobbling or down you'll have time to get the hell out before his bigger Buds show up.

12gaFH with quadracones aught to supply ample incentive to join the endangered species list! After all,It's the " medicine gun" for Nissan sentras full of wanna be Ganstas. You can also use Darwins for the finishing shot. Red jacket now sells suppressors for you stealthy types afraid of giving away your position to ol gigantasaurous.

I look at the picture above, with the 2 bore brass and a thought comes to mind. I think of some of the girls I see on the entertainment channel, unbelievable big breasts! As a young lad, I always like seeing big boobs, in forbidden magazines, the movie, internet, etc. Big is better. What happened? Plastic boob implants! And if big is better than next bigger is better. And more bigger is more better. And finally now you have girls that look totally ridiculous, a caricature of a women - more a deformity or man made freak. That is sad. I guess similar to those old time African women with dishes in their lips.
The same can easily happen with big bores, if big is good than ... must be better.

Are you saying you're not just a typical "square", you're a Square with exponent? Sounds like you're afraid of the unknown ...

Yea, sofa to the fourth
I just remembered one of the TV shows is called something like "Married to Rock".
On a positive note, at 9pm there is a new show. New to me. "Sons of Guns" on Discovery Channel 9PM. I am going to check this out right now.
I know, way to much TV. Too much global warming and snow for much else today.

Any +.5cal cartridge should do the job. I'll bring my .505 Gibbs to the fight!
