This is Dubreuillosaurus. Known from one fossil, the holotype. Described in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology in 2002. Accessioned into France's national collection, the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris, as MNHN 1998-13. Now up for auction. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

I hope Ukraine knocks Russia on its ass long before then but, failing a speedy Russian collapse, I am looking forward to Russian casualties hitting the 2 million mark. Slava Ukraine.

Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs urged the EU’s 450 million residents to give the equivalent of one beer a year to help Ukraine survive the winter. “We can afford it. But Ukraine needs this money now,” he said, adding: “We drink a little less, and lives will be saved.” #Ukraine

With his diesel deal and turning off Starlink, Trump is sacrificing the lives of innocent Ukrainians. Simply to glorify his ego, line his pockets and launder his lies. 🇬🇧🇺🇦Here in the UK, we have a different kind of leadership.
