Question concerning Chatterjee/Dino-Books/Peter Wellnhofer

[Klaus Richter <klausman@rz.uni-sb.de>]

Good day all,

I have three questions.
The first's concerning Sankar Chatterjee and one of his finds. In "Dinosaurs
Rediscovered", Lessem writes that Ch. came Oct. 1990 to the 50th
anniversary meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology with a
puzzling fossil he'd found in the 225-million-year-old red clay of
West Texas. it was a nearly complete skull with a bladelike beak,
entirely toothless without any resemblance to the dominant reptiles of
its day. It resembled a birds skull and lead some paleontologists and
Ch., that this skull belonged to one of the first ostrich-mimic dinosaurs
(like Ornithomimus or Gallimimus of late creataceous) - another
puzzling fossil found by Ch. after his _Protoavis_ discovery.
Did anyone here heard about that skull and results of research ?
Was it a fake or was it a skull of an early ostrich-mimic dinosaur or
some kind of convergence ?

Second Questions, concerning good dinosaur books:
Does anyone knows where to get good dinosaur books (Horner, Bakker, Lessem
et al.) in Europe, especially in Germany ?
What you can buy in regular german bookstores is almost ridiculuous (in
on store I've found the book of L.B.Halstead about Dinosaurs, with lot
of outdated information - dinosaurs as cold-blooded, stupid animals).

Third question:
Does anyone have the postal address of Dr. Peter Wellnhofer from Munich ?

Thanks in advance

Klaus
