Among the intriguing mysteries that the dinosaurs have left for us, one of the most persistent is what the arms of Tyrannosaurus Rex (T.rex) were used for. A recent presentation to the American Geological Society presented evidence to support the idea that the arms were well-adapted for slashing attacks on T. rex's prey.
The reading and the lecture are both about the arms of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and their utilization in the process of slashing the prey. The author of the article feels that there was a significant contribution of the hands in tearing the animals. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article by giving scientific examples which suggests that the arms did not have much barring in the cutting of the prey.
According to the reading, the arms of Trex were not capable of cutting the food. The article mentions that the hands were too small and weak in comparison to the body of Trex that they would be of no use in slashing preys. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that it is not the primary purpose of the hands to do the hunting. Additionally, he points out that the hands which were broken when the dinosaur was alive has shown the evidence to heal. It means that Trex would have died if the arms had broken as it would not be able to catch the prey.
Secondly, the author suggests that the claws of Trex were quite good for slashing purpose. In the article, it is said that the arms were having only two claws which were very long that they can be used to slash the animal. The lecturer, however, asserts that the claws were not of much importance as the teeths of Trex were 30 centimetres long. He goes on to say that the bite pressure of Trex would be so magnificent that no other helping hand would be needed.
Finally, the author posits that the small length of the arms is efficient for the Trex. Holding the prey within the jaws and then tearing it apart by arms would help for effective catching of the prey. The author contends that if the hands were large, then Trex would have to spend a lot of energy to move from place to place. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that the young Trex had small arms, but the older Trex had the same childlike arms, and therefore, they were not serving any purpose in slashing the prey. He notes that there is no standard barring to the hands after a particular age of Trex.
