The anatomical evidence they had them is somewhat strong.<br /><br />Dr. Currie was pretty convinced they had them too, which counts for a lot in my books. He put a lot of the blame for exposed teeth on early palaeo-artists referencing crocodiles, who by spending most of their time in the water keep teeth nice and moist. Thus keeping their teeth from getting damaged from drying out.<br /><br />It'd be interesting to look into all the extinct terrestial crocs to see if they had lips too.<br /><br />If you look closely at most theropod skulls they have the same type of groove above the teeth roots that Monitor Lizards have, and the Monitors have lips (which are anchored to and supported by this groove).
