The following tidbits from the machine-translated page were just too good not
to share:
'At approximately 18 meters excavation leader Eberhard Frey of national museum
for natural history estimates the length meat of the corrosive reptile, which
probably brought it on a weight of more than 50 tons.'
and
'"it would already itch me to reconstruct it complete but that is naturally
also a question of the money", said Frey.'
