Nyssa spatulata

  • ... that the fossil tupelo Nyssa spatulata was described from seeds found in Oregon?

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough, sufficiently sourced, and free of obvious plagiarism/copyvio. No image to review. QPQ checks out. The hook is backed up by the source (although the exact text wasn't given and I didn't read through the long document to find it) but personally I find it uninteresting, I'm sure lots of fossils are found in Oregon. What about highlighting the connection to fossils found in England? Something like ALT1: "... that the fossil tupelo Nyssa spatulata, described from seeds found in Oregon, matches fossils found in the London Clay?" Or something more scientifically accurate, this isn't my area of expertise. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:41, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
