Thomas Carr
Professor Thomas Carr is a prominent paleontologist based at Carthage College in Wisconsin, known for his research on dinosaur fossils, particularly the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex. His studies have highlighted the growing concern regarding the impact of private fossil sales on scientific research, revealing that more scientifically valuable T. rex specimens are held in private hands than in public museums. Carr's work aims to shed light on the early growth stages of T. rex, which are hindered by the inaccessibility of these fossils due to their private ownership, prompting a call for greater public access to such specimens for scientific inquiry.
