Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, there's no copyvio and its well sourced, qpq is done. Whilst the image is free to use, and undoubtedly really special, I don't think it will show up well on the page. I'd be inclined to perhaps add 'known as' to ALT0 - so you know it's the name?

Difficult to understand sentence

I'm having trouble understanding a sentence in the lead, and I'm wondering if there is a word missing: "It is known isolated fossil seeds found in middle Eocene sediments exposed in north central Oregon and Ypresian age fossils found in Washington, USA." Is it meant to be "It is known by..."? I am not familiar with the subject matter to confidently be certain I'm parsing the sentence correctly in the first place and determine if I'm simply overlooking something, is anyone more familiar able to clarify this? ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 01:01, 20 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The missing word has already been added, it should have had a "from"-- Kev min § 14:50, 20 November 2021 (UTC) reply
