The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Article is new enough (moved to mainspace the day of nomination), long enough, neutral and well-cited, with no copyvio detected. Sources are reliable; spot checked for verification. QPQ verified. Hooks are formatted (capitalization and italics check per
MOS:LIFE), succinct, and quite interesting. Two minor fixes: DYK rules require the sentence in the article with the hook fact to have an inline citation (
WP:DYKDN). So the article needs a citation at the sentence ending preserved together on a single rock slab that is part of the
Burke Museumpaleobotanical collections. rather than only at the end of that paragraph. Also, I would suggest removing only from ALT1 to make it a little more succinct. Otherwise, looks good to go. –
