A small Theropod found in Germany

[HPBredow@aol.com]

Hello list members,

today (07/31/1999) there was a short report in my local (Bremen/Germany) 
newspaper Der Weser Kurier about a new theropod found in Bavaria.

If these informations are correct we have another small, late jurassic 
theropod, of which so very few are known. I hope it's a new genus because it 
would broaden our knowledge about these critters. Does anybody knows more?

Just the main information according to the report:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Genus/Species: so far unknown, but a small theropod. Presumably a juvenile.

Preparation status: so far only the skull seems to be prepared.

Place of discovery: the upper bavarian town of Schamhaupten, a region where 
als some fossils of Archaeopteryx were found.

Age: 151 ma.

Size: estimated at turkey size for the juvenile , the already prepared head 
has a length of 8cm.

Presentation: recently at the Eichstätter Jura-Museum.

Found by: in the summer of 1998 by to honorary workers of the museum named 
Hans and Klaus-Dieter Weiß.


Many greetings from Germany
