The article (or, rather, its expansion) is new enough and the prose has been expanded more than 5-fold. There is clearly no copyvio issue here, and the hook is cited, but in the text, unlike here, it includes the qualifier "at the time of publication". I would feel comfortable supporting this if the hook was changed to include "at the time of publication". Otherwise, seems to be good to go. Jinkinson talk to me 01:59, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Now that the issue above has been addressed this looks good to go to me. Jinkinson talk to me 17:06, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Does look good but wasn't the intent to include the picture that's included and under a suitable license? I struck thru ALT1 because I think ALT0 is more catchy. I modified ALT0 to wikilink macrofossil and include the picture. If that wasn't intended, feel free to revert. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 17:17, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
