FossilNerd Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I admit that I was a bit confused when I saw this thread. Until I read the article @Troodon posted. An enlightening read.

It talked about face integument but there wasn't much that indicated the presence or absence of lips since they just looked at the direct covering of what was there, which is the skull itself. I don't remember where but there was also another study that showed Tyrannosaurid teeth did have a covering of some type. Personally I find it unlikely that most theropods lacked lips.
