- ... that Isabel Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas published the first scientific description of the smell of rain, for which Thomas coined the term "petrichor"? Source: "Nature of Argillaceous Odour might be a mouthful, but this was the name of the paper published in the Nature journal of March 7, 1964, by CSIRO scientists Isabel (Joy) Bear and Richard Thomas, that first described petrichor."

Hi Ivar the Boneful, that this was the first description of the smell of rain is mentioned in the lead but not in the main body and so is not cited. The rest looks ok: article moved to mainspace 9 May; article is of good length and well written; inline citations to reliable sources are used, though I note the National Museum link is dead; I didn't notice any copyright violations from the sources and the quotations are correctly attributed; a QPQ has been done - Dumelow (talk) 08:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
