This website is not a reliable source: [1] When a different vew will be made and published in a reliable publication, as paleontology journals, it will be put in the article.--Rextron (talk) 22:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Although the cause is shared, this is not the Tr-J. It is a minor extinction event that occurred at the Early Triassic-Middle Triassic boundary. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 01:23, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
You should specify "by the Middle Triassic" or "at the beginning of the Middle Triassic" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
"During further attempts to remove rock from between the closed jaws, an isolated tooth was discovered; the specimen had previously thought to have been toothless" this sentence is backwards User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 00:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
"its frontal bone also lacked an expansion at its rear outer corner" is that the eyebrow or something? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Not really. That process would articulate with the postfrontal I think. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Cartorhynchus had 31 pre-sacral vertebrae" you could also say "Excluding the tail, Cartorhynchus had 31 vertebrae" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
This is not quite the same. You would include the sacrum in that count. Is "Excluding the tail and hip" better? Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 18:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Actually it might be better to just list them all out ("it has x number of neck vertebrae, y thoracic vertebrae, z lumbar...") at the beginning User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure I can totally get around talking about presacrals though — see the presacral count discussion. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 02:10, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I know; if you list it all out like above, you've basically just defined presacral, and it's good info to include regardless User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 12:50, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Done. I've just listed the (estimated) cervical and dorsal counts since the taxon doesn't have lumbar verts. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 01:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Does the neural spine shape have any functional implications relating to back muscles? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I never really considered using homoplasy as an adverb before so I'm not sure what exactly it would be User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 01:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
The last image is pushing the ref list to the left, so maybe you could put in a See also section? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 14:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
