Re: [dinosaur] Paleogene armless tyrannosaurids

No technical papers as such.

But Greg Paul's restoration was in the context of a book review (of Dougal Dixon's The New Dinosaurs) published in the journal Evolutionary Theory. Here is the pdf of that review:

Good day,

recently I have seen an hypothetical restoration of Paleogene armless tyrannosaurids by Gregory Paul, descended from the Late Cretaceous small-armed tyrannosaurids, perhaps _T. rex_ itself. I would like to ask if there are any scientific papers or articles concerning this topic (i. e. whether tyrannosaurids would lose their arms completely during another few millions of years)? If I recall correctly, the same (complete loss of arms/front limbs) is postulated for advanced abelisaurids. Thank you in advance!
