Of course, I can explain without problems how a dinosaur from Niger is
now in Elche. We have a project with the Niger government to prospect
the area of Adderbisinat (South of Agadez). The past January, two
teams (one Spanish and another German), we have partially overlapped
ours working areas (details are not necessary: desert seems to be big,
but... not enough). Fortunatelly, after the first surprise, the things
are going to be solved now, and we have a first agreement of
collaboration. There have not more importance (by the moment).
