Thomas Carr (paleontologist)

Thomas D. Carr is a vertebrate paleontologist who received his Ph.D. 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.cite_web |url=http://www.carthage.edu/dept/biology/faculty.html |title=Thomas Carr, Assistant Professor of Biology |accessdate = 2008-01-17 |publisher=Carthage College Biology Department] 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.cite_journal |last=Carr |first=Thomas D. |year=1999 |title=Craniofacial ontogeny in Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Coelurosauria) |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=19 |issue=3 |pages=497–520] Carr shared the Lanzendorf Prize for scientific illustration at the 2000 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference for the artwork in this article.cite_web |url=http://www.vertpaleo.org/meetings/pastwinners.cfm |title=SVP Award, Prize and Grant Recipients |accessdate = 2008-01-17 |publisher=Society of Vertebrate Paleontology] In 2005, he and two colleagues described and named "Appalachiosaurus", a late-surviving basal tyrannosauroid found in Alabama.cite_journal |last=Carr |first=Thomas D. |coauthors=Williamson, Thomas E.; & Schwimmer, David R. |year=2005 |title=A new genus and species of tyrannosauroid from the Late Cretaceous (middle Campanian) Demopolis Formation of Alabama |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=119–143 |doi=10.1671/0272-4634(2005)025 [0119:ANGASO] 2.0.CO;2 |doilabel=10.1671/0272-4634(2005)025[0119:ANGASO]2.0.CO;2]
