Hi,
Does anyone remember a recent article about the reconstruction of lips on tyrannosaurs where the upper and lower lips form a seal over the teeth - kind of like chimp lips? I can't seem to find the original reconstruction and I'm sure I didn't dream this up...

Can anyone reassure me that I haven't dreamt it up and remind me who's work that was?
Thanks,
Manabu

The only thing I can remember was Bob Bakker's idea of sauropod "moose lips" last year. I must have missed the tyrannosaur lips altogether.
