RE: Titanis paper?

[Ronald Orenstein <ron.orenstein@rogers.com>]

Interesting that the restoration of Titanis 
accompanying the paper shows it with typical 
avian wings, not the "arms" that have been 
postulated for it (not to mention that 
restorations showing Titanis facing human beings 
may require some revision!).  Is there now 
evidence contradicting the view that Titanis' 
wings had developed intograsping arms?
