Re: [dinosaur] On several Russian papers

Do you necessarily want the first description of a taxon, which sometimes
was a very short notice? In some cases, the same authors later published
more detailed descriptions, some of which are online from different
sources. However, I would need some time to track these down, which
involves having the exact Russian spelling and often the Russian form of
the scientific name.

Here's snippet views of the original description of Therizinosaurus (but it
doesn't show the original goofy giant turtle "life" reconstruction that was
in the Priroda article). Obviously, this was scanned by somebody...
