With @paulserenoofficial.bsky.social @diapophysis.bsky.social & other co-authors, we dedicated a sauropod to him, Nigersaurus taqueti, a 🦕 sauropod from Gadoufaoua, a famous Lower Cretaceous site in 🇳🇪 Niger, of which he was the principal investigator in the 1970s. He was extremely generous with me.

He was a pioneer in the paleontology of African vertebrates, particularly in Niger, Morocco, and Algeria, but also in Laos.
He was president of the @mnhn.fr but for all his international projects, he never forgot the creation of museographic structures dedicated to paleontology.
