Establishing notability[edit]

Thomas Carr is recognized as one of the foremost experts on tyrannosaurs in the world. Tyrannosaurs are in turn one of the most well-known dinosaur groups, both to science and the general public. For example, a Google Scholar Search shows that his work is cited in pretty much every paper on tyrannosauroids published since 2001, including some by experts like Phil Currie and Thomas R. Holtz. His 1999 paper in particular is regarded as a landmark as it was the first to quantitatively analyze tyrannosaur ontogeny. On top of that, it won the Lanzendorf Prize for scientific illustration from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology at the 2000 conference.[1]
