Liquidambar changii

[edit]
  • ... that the extinct sweetgum Liquidambar changii was described from petrified fossil fruits and hollow fruit casts in chert?

Source: " encased within the chert (Figs. 8, 9, 13–18, 20–24, 26, 27, 29). Others were found secondarily weathered out from the matrix, revealing their three-dimensional organization (Figs. 3, 4, 7). Still other specimens represent casts of individual fruits" (Pigg, K. B.; Ickert-Bond, S. M.; Wen,, J. (2004))

    • ALT1:... that the extinct sweetgum Liquidambar changii was described from the "Hi hole" location in Central Washington State?

Source: "Fossils were recovered from the locality referred to locally as the “County Line Holes,” primarily from the area within the site designated “Hi Hole” by the original collectors, T. H. Tuggle and Raymond D. Foisy." (Pigg, K. B.; Ickert-Bond, S. M.; Wen,, J. (2004))

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hooks are sourced inline, the article is neutral and neither Earwig nor I detected any close paraphrasing. Either hook could be used but I prefer ALT0. It might be helpful to expand the lead a little, otherwise it is liable to be tagged with "lead too short". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:44, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
    • Shouldn't chert, a possibly unfamiliar term, be wikilinked? Pppery 21:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
