What is being measured?
Comparison uses the midpoint of the Australian Museum’s 1.6–2 m reconstructed-size range. Published body-length range for this small tyrannosauroid. This is a midpoint of an estimate range, not a measured living-animal mean.
The comparison uses the midpoint of the stated range. That midpoint is a chosen reference, not a measured population mean.
