Section Split Fossil Content

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I think that the Crato Formation should have its Fossil Content split into its own article called Paleobiota of the Crato Formation. While the current article is very incomplete, the Crato formation is one of the most worked on fossil sites. For Insects alone there are over 350 described and that number has been increasing consistently every year. Many other large articles like Hell Creek, Morrison, Yixian, and Solnhofen have had their own paleobiota pages for a while. Additionally, I think there is enough information about the history of the site, the economics, as well as the preservation and taphonomy that would benefit from not being bogged down by the large species list.

There are so many invertebrates from Crato that anything but a split page wouldn't make sense. SeismicShrimp (talk) 19:37, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
