Special Issue in Swiss Journal of Geosciences: A tribute to the late Prof J.-P. Berger

[Daniel Marty <daniel.marty@palaeojura.ch>]

I'm happy to announce that the following Special Issue
"A tribute to the late Professor Jean-Pierre Berger (8 July 1956–18 January 
2012)"
was just published in the Swiss Journal of Geosciences and can be accessed here:

http://link.springer.com/journal/15/106/2/page/1

Even though the majority of the papers deal with mammals, there are also a 
couple of papers (coelacanths; new Macrocnemus species; new actinopterygian 
fish) that are certainly of interest for the Dinosaur Mailing list.

I can provide access to a dropbox folder for those who do not have access to 
the papers.

The contents are as follows:
