Comment Welcome! Good picture, but for FP, you need to do a little research and find out what species this is and from what epoch and/or approximately how long ago. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ikan Kekek! Hyphalosaurus is endemic to early Cretaceous Jehol group from western Liaoning of China, but I didn't take down the information of this specimen when it was exhibited last year, so I didn't mentioned its locality and geological horizon in the description. Besides, this slab was borrowed from Beijing Museum of Natural History for a special exhibition, which ended last May, its information, e.g. it belongs to either of two known Hyphalosaurus species or is undetermined (i.e. Hyphalosaurus sp.), might have been unavailable since it's been returned to the owner. --Tiouraren (talk) 09:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Maybe if you contact the museum, they can supply the information to you. The important thing would be to add the information to the "Description" field on the file page, not this thread. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:51, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination Nominate it when the information is more complete. -- Tiouraren (talk) 18:02, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
