Hmmm... *Coelophyis*, too? Anyway, it is no type species so far... let's
wait until someone figures out its phylogenetic position. :-)

I must say that sending a letter (and just one at that) into a country
like Zimbabwe was a bit naïve. If even Austria, something like the 7th
richest country in the world, can't manage to speed up its snail-mail to
anything acceptable... who knows how soon the letter was opened to look
for money, or in what mud it rotted after having been lost.

Anything but Gothic. Well, most probably Indo-European, but that probably
was it. :-)
