Hi everyone! I study in th National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM in Spanish) and it edits twice a week a little newspaper called "La Gaceta" (literally "The Gazette"). About a month ago on Monday, April 17th, the issue was called "Paleontologists' party: Recovered 74 million years fossils, in BC [Baja California]":

Spoiler: click to toggle

Basically it says that there have been found remains of fish, turtles, crocodiles, many marine invertebrates, and a tooth identified as Dromaeosaurus sp. Obviously the highlight of the article is this last one, even though it's only a tooth, but the people in charge of the editorial group got a little creative on their page design and... well, see it for yourselves:

"Baja California, bone party for paleontologists" It's in Page 4 under "Academia", it's all in Spanish. :D

I'll put this as a spoiler in case you haven't seen it:

Isn't it curious? :) The only sad thing is that there are no credits anywhere to the author of the piece. Anyway, it's only used as a free divulgation paper for all the University community.

Whoah! That download is literally over 7 years old (And quite crappy by today's standards), I never imagined someone would notice it!

Though yeah, as one of it's co creators i'd still like some credit for it, as well as for Mongoose, although i have no idea where he is these days. DM/Hendrix should be credited too since we used his model as a base IIRC.

But ehh i'd rather not start a fuss over it anyway, especially since it's a very old download from when I was a big newbie at designing.

Holy crap! Did they just Google search the dinosaur and grab the first model they saw? That's crazy that Mongoose's ZT2 mod pretty got showcased in a popular magazine! =D

Haha, amazing!

I'd consider it the first publication I've contributed to. :yes:
