Italian amateur paleontologist Giovanni Todesco, who found the famous baby
theropod Scipionyx fossil (nicknamed Ciro) in 1980,  has died at age 72.
When he originally turned the fossil over to the state, he was put on trial
for theft of a cultural asset.  He was later acquitted. Earlier this year,
he was given a special award in recognition of his discovery.  (in Italian)

Dinosaurs and related 'prehistoric' fossil vertebrates have captured the
imagination of children and adults from almost their first discovery in the
early nineteenth century, and it is not surprising that physical
representations of them would be made. From these early beginnings, there
must be thousands of different prehistoric models out there in the
'Dinosaur Toy universe'. Even before the advent of the movie 'Jurassic
Park', every toy shop had a display area devoted to them, and specialist
toy manufacturers were bringing out very scientifically accurate models.
But I want to concentrate on my favourites from the pre‐'Jurassic Park' era
and particularly those available in the USA and Britain. Some may look a
bit like tail‐dragging swamp dwellers, but I like them and so do many other
collectors. As well as those the avid dinosaur collector might come across
at model fairs and online I will also mention some that are more likely to
be seen in museum displays.
