Ben CreislerA correction. The intended link in Geokniga for Efremov as an author is:
The link that got pasted only went to one publication.

You will need to download a reader, which should be available for free. You click through the pages from the bar at the top. You can also convert DjVu to pdf (although I have not tried it).The Archive for the Russian journal Priroda in DjVu is posted here:

The issue with Maleev's original description of ÂTherizinosaurus (Priroda 1954(3):106-108), including an illustrated reconstruction as a giant turtle-like animal(!), can be downloaded at this link.

In some cases, the same authors later published more detailed descriptions, some of which are online from different sources. However, I would need some time to track these down, which involves having the exact Russian spelling and often the Russian form of the scientific name.ÂHere's snippet views of the original description of Therizinosaurus (but it doesn't show the original goofy giant turtle "life" reconstruction that was in the Priroda article). Obviously, this was scanned by somebody...On Fri, Oct 4, 2019 at 9:51 AM David Marjanovic <david.marjanovic@gmx.at> wrote:ÂGesendet:ÂDonnerstag, 03. Oktober 2019 um 16:36 Uhr
Von:Â"Leonardo GÃmez" <primeval102@gmail.com>Did anyone see this?ÂI did. I neither have the pdfs, nor was I optimistic about any existing, so I didn't react.ÂBut searching Google Scholar for "pliosaurus rossicus" (with quotation marks) finds the openly accessible pdf on the first page of results.ÂThat's all, though.ÂDsungaripterus parvusÂis not found.ÂSearching forÂEstemmenosuchus andÂÐÑÐÐÐÐÐ together does not find the description, only a paper celebrating his 90th birthday. The same holds forÂEotitanosuchus and ÐÑÐÐÐÐÐ (a paper in English, Chudinov 1965, is found, but that's not it, he named Eotitanosuchus in 1960).ÂSearching forÂNyctiphruretus and ÐÑÑÐÐÐÐ brings up two results in total, neither of which is the description. Likewise forÂTitanophoneus and ÐÑÑÐÐÐÐ.ÂSearching forÂTherizinosaurus and ÐÐÐÐÐÐ brings up interesting things, but nothing by ÐÐÐÐÐÐ.ÂSo, as expected, most of these works have either never been digitized, or they've only been scanned as pictures without OCR.
