Utahraptor (featherless) model give-away in Oxford, England
The pair of Seymouria models stolen last year (and not recovered, with no leads) has been replaced with new models at a popular outdoor Geopark, the Saurian Discovery Trail [Saurier-Erlebnispfad] (opened 2011), in Georgenthal, Germany; a damaged Coelurosauravus (Weigeltisaurus) model has also been restored (in German)

The models are based on fossils of two nearly complete Seymouria specimens found next to each other at a Lower Permian site in Bromacker in 1997 by German paleontologist Thomas Martens and prepared at the Carnegie Museum. The fossil pair was locally nicknamed the "Tambach Love Couple" [Tambacher Liebespaar], and the name was also used for the now replaced pair of life-size models in the park (in German)

The nickname <<Tambacher Liebespaar>> [Tambach Love Couple] is a play on the name of a famous 15th century German painting the <<Gothaer Liebespaar>> [Gotha Love Couple]. See:
