Re: [dinosaur] Matyas Vremir (1970-2020) + Oculudentavis + Paraxenisaurus + Australian dinosaur trail + more




More on Matyas Vremir (in Hungarian) / Matei Vremir (in Romanian). Apologies for two missed errors. I put Romanian instead of Hungarian as the language in the original news link (corrected here). Also, he was 49.

An additional note...

The Nature podcast Âfor March 11 has not been changed and has Henry Gee eagerly discussing the fossil and assuring that the fossil meets Myanmar amber ethics


I also seem to recall a video segment explaining the decision to make the discovery the Nature cover story, but the version of the Nature video online does not include it.
