Overall: Note that this is a 5x expanded nomination, not a newly created one, but it easily meets the expansion threshold for DYK and so eligibility is not an issue. Note also that I could not view the Google Books preview for the source of the hook, so I am accepting it (along with a few other offline-only references) in good faith. There are a couple fairly lengthy quotations in this article, but I think that they are used sensibly and are quite useful. I would not object to trimming them down a little, but I don't think that that is necessary, either. Overall, nice work, ReaderofthePack and Piotrus! I really enjoyed reading this article and reviewing this nomination. Michael Barera (talk) 03:40, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi! Just in case anyone is curious beyond this, the sentence in question that backs up the hook is "This paleontological possibility, by the way, had not been found in life before Clarke's story, but has been since." 12:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
