RE: Adam yates and Carnotaurus arms

[jrw6f@uva.pcmail.virginia.edu]

        Last time I asked about pronation/supination in
theropod arms, a lot of the fun of dinosaurs was forcibly
removed from my life.  Ken Carpenter and Paul Sereno both
contend that t-pods could not pronate/supinate their arms.
Now, this may not be true in all cases, but I felt I should
caution you about your supposition that the radius and ulna
crossed "as they do in other theropods". As for Carnotaurus, I
recall vaguely that the skeleton illustrated in _Hunting
Dinosaurs_ looked all to weird in the hands (they were
palm-forward or something).
