Talk:Erratus

Quote placement
"To quote a paper ¨with unique trunk appendages formed of lateral anomalocaridid-type flaps and ventral subconical endopods. These appendages represent an intermediate stage of biramous limb evolution.[1]''" I'm having trouble seeing how these sentences fit with each other and with the article as a whole. What are you quoting the paper to support or describe? --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 17:28, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

OK yeah I can see that, I got rid of it and re-added it to a more clear part of the article.
 * Is this article about the genus Erratus or the species Erratus sperare. If it is about the genus, the etymology of the specific epithet doesn't belong in the opening sentence. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 17:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I took it out of the intro. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 18:04, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Affinity as Isoxyid
@Fossiladder13 and @Hemiauchenia, I noticed that supplementary material (6) of Tuzoia redescription coded that Erratus as Isoxyidae. Should we follow this? Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 07:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @Ta-tea-two-te-to Sure, If everything checks out. Fossiladder13 (talk) 13:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I would oppose changing it. Erratus lacks key diagnostic characteristics of Isoxyids, like spined frontal appendages. Given that this wasn't even mentioned in the actual text of the paper, I think its undue to include. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:08, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 23:30, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
