A number of recent news and blog items:


Nearly complete fossil skeleton of Triassic turtle Proganochelys,
found in 1932 in Trossingen, returns home to Museum Auberlehaus (in
Trossingen) to be put on display alongside Plateosaurus skeletons. The
head, tail, and  a forefoot on the specimen were eaten by predators.
