New theropod skull found in Italy

Still not much to say about it, but it seems robust and has 15 cm long teeth, so it must have been quite the beast. Article is in Italian:

Paul Jordan thought he had found yet another shark tooth in the quarry at Mount Ceti Secchiano Novafeltria, a piece of adding to his already extensive collection of historical artifacts. Green Cross ambulance driver and researcher of minerals as a hobby, has in reality in September of 2010 brought to light a piece of history. A dinosaur skull, believed to be among the oldest in our country, which will be restored in Bologna. While waiting to see him back in his glory, some copies will be reproduced and placed in several museums in the region Emilia Romagna among all Catholic and Novafeltria. E'proprio Paolo Giordani here that, by chance, he found the skull. He brought it home, kept in the garage, when she washed it but realized that the find was not shark tooth, but a fossil skull. At that point he called the professor Loris Bagli who reported the find to the Museum of the Catholic and the fossil came to the Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Emilia Romagna, which has mobilized for the restoration and analysis of the case. The piece found was due to a large vertebrate, almost certainly a reptile, who lived in the Mesozoic period between 90 and 65 million years ago. A period of time for which there are no similar evidence, not only in Romagna, but also throughout the northern Apennines. A most unique discovery which will provide important information about a vanished world millions of years ago and which, it is hoped, will also give a boost to tourism in the hinterland of Rimini.
