Talk:Tullimonstrum

Taxonomy
Can't we wait that the scientific community debates and settle on this before we put that it is a lamprey in the taxobox? This has been modified the day of the publication of the article. Wikipedia isn't a science news journal, it should reflect a consensus and now we don't know if it is a consensus since this result is too fresh. A mention in a paragraph would be, for now, enough.

 * Perhaps the taxobox should just show the most inclusive clade that can be agreed upon... FunkMonk (talk) 20:47, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Size?
Why the hell isn't the animal's estimated SIZE not listed anywhere in the text of the article? Were it not for the 10mm rule displayed in the image of the fossil, one would have no reason not to believe the 'monster' was 20 meters long! A pretty pathetic oversight, IMHO. -70.251.67.255 (talk) 14:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if it bothers you THAT MUCH, why don't you put in the size estimate yourself, instead of whine about it?--Mr Fink (talk) 15:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * most of the fossils I've seen personally range in size from as small as say 3 inches and 1 inch wide, and sometimes 3 inches long and 2 inches wide in the same size category, to roughly a foot long and 2-3 inches wide, it varies greatly as they are soft animals, so they can wind up distorted in situ, if its soft bodied, it typically isn't going to be anywhere near 20m long, its hard enough to find hard bodied fossils that big. pretty pathetic to nitpick the article because you think every monster is the loch-ness monster. --66.169.105.182 (talk) 21:18, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

New Reconstruction In Progress
Today's progress in redrawing my picture of Tullimonstrum. What do you guys think?--Mr Fink (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * So far, looks good, I like the combination of one in a dynamic pose and the other in a more neutral pose. By the way, what are the things in the bottom of the image? --Rextron (talk) 07:36, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * At bottom is the head of the local chondrichthyid, Polysentor.--Mr Fink (talk) 15:11, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
