 * Symbol question.svg Article is long and new enough, hook is short enough, and hook fact is verified from the PDF source. No close paraphrasing problems noted. I copyedited the article, but could not make sense of the following sentence:
 * "When first described recovered and studied the age of the Florissant Formation, with a tentative Miocene date being advocated."
 * Once this is clarified, the hook is good to go. Sasata (talk) 08:22, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Protostephanus sentence regarding the Florissant formation's age has been copy edited, they were much better worded in my mind I guess! Also my apologies for forgetting to bold the Stephanidae link in the hook, it is supposed to be a double nomination. -- Kev  min  § 17:29, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
