Photos of this therapsid fossil[edit]

I have took photos of the fossil skeleton of this therapsid in Natural History Museum of Helsinki. Is it possible to add the photo here when I upload it to Wikimedia Commons? Should I put the photo to the taxon box and replace restoration to other part of the article like it is in many fossil animals or should I put the fossil image in other place in this article?-Asikal1 (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes to all! FunkMonk (talk) 09:26, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! I will upload one photo to Wikimedia Commons and put to the taxon box.-Asikal1 (talk) 13:11, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have now uploaded two photos to Commons. Which one of the you do think is better? I put the photo one first but you may change it if you wish.-Asikal1 (talk) 13:32, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First one, for several reasons. But thanks for both! More images are also welcome. FunkMonk (talk) 15:29, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for the article and temporal range[edit]

Hello! Are these good sources for improving this article?

Late Permian dicynodonts of Eastern Europe
New Dicynodonts from the Upper Permian of the Vyatka Basin
Paleofile.com Here is info for Australobarbarus, but I do not know how to link the right part of the page. The one that was on Placerias did not work when I tried to change Placerias to Australobarbarus.-Asikal1 (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it a good idea to add temporal range in this article? The sources tell about the age of the fossils of this therapsid but do they tell precisely enough? It was said in Paleofile.com that the age is: "Lower part of the Upper Tatarian Age, Lopingian Subepoch, upper Zechstein Epoch, Late Permian." Is this image right I do not know much about that age and do not have full access to other sources-Asikal1 (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
