Wikipedia Edit Equates Meraxes and Tyrannosaurus as Longest-Lived Non-Avian Theropods via 2026 Study

A minor Wikipedia edit to the Meraxes gigas article incorporates a 2026 PeerJ study showing Tyrannosaurus rex had prolonged growth, reaching asymptotic size at 35-40 years with an upper lifespan limit of 43-53 years. This matches Meraxes' holotype age of 39-53 years at death (skeletal maturity at 35-49 years), positioning both as comparably long-lived giant theropods via convergent hypermorphosis rather than accelerated growth. The addition revises prior contrasts, suggesting shared evolutionary strategies in carcharodontosaurids and tyrannosaurids.

Meraxes gigas, a giant carcharodontosaurid theropod from Argentina's Late Cretaceous Huincul Formation, is represented by the most complete skeleton known from the Southern Hemisphere, including a 1.27 m skull and reduced forelimbs.
