Terrible news that Hans-Dieter Sues has died. Way too young. Hans (on the right) & Sasha Averianov (left) invited me to study Timurlengia with them. I'll always appreciate it. Hans was eminent, always nice and cheerful to me, a man of ethics and faith. RIP.

We are deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Hans-Dieter Sues. A towering and kind scientist & gifted communicator, he shaped our field through more than 150 papers, landmark discoveries, & a lifelong commitment to sharing the joy of fossils with everyone he met.
