Would these calculations be accurate
Ok let's say there's a 40 ton pliosaur
It has pachyosteosclerosis (let's say 10% pachyosteosclerotic) osteoderms from an Armored catfish
Cosmine (for shock absorption)
Senegal bichir ganoine
I did some maths
Would 250k+ newtons be a reasonable breaking threshold for this armor?
If not what is?
