Article is new enough (moved to mainspace the day of nomination), long enough, neutral and well-cited, with no copyvio detected. Sources are reliable; spot checked for verification. QPQ verified. Hooks are formatted (capitalization and italics check per MOS:LIFE), succinct, and quite interesting. Two minor fixes: DYK rules require the sentence in the article with the hook fact to have an inline citation (WP:DYKDN). So the article needs a citation at the sentence ending preserved together on a single rock slab that is part of the Burke Museum paleobotanical collections.
rather than only at the end of that paragraph. Also, I would suggest removing only from ALT1 to make it a little more succinct. Otherwise, looks good to go. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
