I love stories like this - thanks black!

Actually, I think George Lucas discovered the 'Frog from hell' fossil first and based Jabba the Hutt on it .

Yes, great. Also interesting what grabs journalists' attention - I've read five national papers today and all have had spreads on this fossil - some of them quite big articles.
