Suciacarpa[edit]
- ... that the fossil fruit Suciacarpa was found in marine sediments that also preserved a land snail and a dinosaur bone?
Source: "The permineralized fossil plant material from these sources is preserved in calcium carbonate concretions alongside ammonites, terrestrial gastropods, inoceramid bivalves, and a theropod femur" (Atkinson, B. (2016) page:760)
ALT1:... that seeds in the fossil fruit Suciacarpa have pyrite and fossil fungi in them?- ALT2:... that seeds in the fossil fruit Suciacarpa have fossil fungi in them?
Source: "Cross-section of a seed showing thin integument (in) colonized by fungi and obscured by pyrite and traces of endosperm tissue (arrow) in which cell walls are replaced by fungal hyphae," (Atkinson, B. (2016) page:763 fig 4)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for ALT0 and ALT2 are cited inline, the article is neutral and neither Earwig nor I could discern any copyright issues. I have struck ALT1 and added ALT2, as the significance of the "pyrite" in the fruit is not apparent, and it sounded as if the fruit have pyrite fungi in them. If the nominator wants to go with ALT1, it needs to be rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:58, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
