Abstract:
"A revision of terrestrial vertebrates corroborates The Early Tatarian age of
the Vozdvizhenka locality (Orenburg Region). Most bones from this locality
belong to the family Karpinskiosauridae, which has not previously been
recorded in the Isheevo Faunal Assemblage of eastern Europe. Isolated dermal
bones of the skull of _Karpinskiosaurus_ from the Vozdvizhenka locality are
described and compared with other members of the family."

Madygen Formation (Triassic) of Fergana, Kyrgyzstan. _Paleontological
Journal_ 39(2):192-198.
http://www.maik.rssi.ru/cgi-bin/search.pl?type=abstract&name=paleng&number=2&year=5&page=192
Abstract:
"A new cynodont, _Madysaurus sharovi_ gen. et sp. nov., belonging to the
aberrant descendants of the procynosuchian cynodont lineage is described.
Its
parietals are wide, have a small parietal foramen, and lack a sagittal
crest.
A separate postfrontal, along with the prefrontal and postorbital,
contribute
to the formation of the upper orbital rim. The postdentary region of the
lower jaw is not reduced. The upper jaw has five incisors and no more than
eight postcanines, while the lower jaw has at least three incisors. The
lumbar region of the vertebral column consists of seven vertebrae, the
dorsal
ribs are not widened. A new family, Madysauridae, is established."

Abstract:
"A new large specialized prolacertilian, _Vritramimosaurus dzerzhinskii_ gen.
et sp. nov., from the Lower Triassic of the Rassypnaya locality (Orenburg
Region, European Russia) and new specimens of the Middle Triassic
prolacertilian _Malutinisuchus gratus_ are described. The diversity,
phylogeny, systematics, and geographical and stratigraphic distribution of
prolacertilians are discussed."

reptile (Pterosauria) in Armenia. _Paleontological Journal_ 39(2):210-211.

Abstract:
"A distal fragment of a radius of the pterosaur Azhdarchidae indet. from the
Upper Turonian (Upper Cretaceous) of southern Armenia is described. It was
found together with remains of ammonites and other marine invertebrates.
This
is the first record of a flying reptile in Transcaucasia."

Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do. We should all
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
