In case people don't check the Prehistorics Illustrated 
newspage reguarly at 
http://members.xoom.com/prehistorics/Newspg_1.html, I will 
point out a number of recent stories of interest, 
including:

New Russian Dinosaur
http://members.xoom.com/prehistorics/News379.html

Mentions a new dinosaur from Russia called Amurosaurus--
this is a nomen nudum on George Olshevsky's list as I 
recall so maybe an official description is out.

Fossil Auction Controversy
http://members.xoom.com/prehistorics/News378.html

Vertebrate paleontologists may boycott Discovery Channel 
projects to protest on-line auction of vertebrate fossils.

Other stories include one about Walking with Dinosaurs and 
another has an interview with Scott Sampson discussing 
Rahonavis.
