Timeline of ichthyosaur research

 * ... that highlights from the history of ichthyosaur research (example pictured) include fossils of pregnant females, whale-sized ichthyosaurs from Nevada, and ichthyosaurs with swordfish-like jaws?

 * Symbol question.svg This nomination almost passes, with one minor nitpick. The article is plenty long enough, nominated timely, QPQ done, no copyvios found. The hook is interesting and of suitable length. Two of the three facts in the hook are cited in the article: the pregnant females and the swordfish-like jaws. However, I could not find that the material about the giant Nevada fossils actually says "whale-sized" anywhere. If you can fix this, either by providing a cited reference saying "whale sized" or by modifying the hook, it will be good to go. Oh, and one other thing: if we are going to use the image, we need to insert (pictured) somewhere in the hook. --MelanieN (talk) 23:02, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Fact is now in the article and cited. AGF for offline source. I have inserted (example pictured) in the hook and it is good to go. --MelanieN (talk) 18:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
