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 ther=
e 
are any scientific papers or articles concerning this topic (i. e. whether=
 
tyrannosaurids would lose their arms completely during another few million=
s 
of years)? If I recall correctly, the same (complete loss of arms/front =

limbs) is postulated for advanced abelisaurids. Thank you in advance!
