Thomas Carr (paleontologist)

Last updated

Thomas D. Carr is a vertebrate paleontologist who received his PhD from the University of Toronto in 2005. He is now a member of the biology faculty at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Much of his work centers on tyrannosauroid dinosaurs. [1] Carr published the first quantitative analysis of tyrannosaurid ontogeny in 1999, establishing that several previously recognized genera and species of tyrannosaurids were in fact juveniles of other recognized taxa. [2] Carr shared the Lanzendorf Prize for scientific illustration at the 2000 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference for the artwork in this article. [3] In 2005, he and two colleagues described and named Appalachiosaurus , a late-surviving basal tyrannosauroid found in Alabama. [4] He is also scientific advisor to the Dinosaur Discovery Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
