Dale was my Dinosauroid connection. Sad to hear of his passing. He will not be forgotten.

Greetings,
We have very few details on this at present, but Dale Russell (noted Canadian paleontologist who did extensive work on dinosaurs and other Mesozoic reptiles, among other topics) passed away on Dec. 21 last year. Obituary is forthcoming.
