Varavudh Suteethorn

 * ... that the Thai palaeontologist Varavudh Suteethorn has helped name and describe at least 25 fossil species from Thailand, including dinosaurs, fish, mammals, turtles, and crocodylomorphs? Source: All the species that Suteethorn has helped name and describe are listed and cited in the article, I left them out of the nomination since I felt it would be a bit impractical to list all the references here, but bionames.org also has a catalogue of them:
 * Reviewed: Only my 4th DYK nomination, thus I'm exempt from QPQ.

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi PaleoGeekSquared, review follows: article created 3 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any copyright violations; as stated user is QPQ exempt; the hook is moderately interesting, however there wasn't mention in the article that all of his discoveries were made in Thailand. Can this be added and sourced?  if not the existing hook could be tweaked or an alternative added (for example I found it interesting that his mapping led to the discovery of fossil sites which provided most of the palaeontological discoveries in the country).

 * Sorry for the long wait, . I can't think of a particular source that directly states all of his discoveries have been made in Thailand, it's more-or-less implied. But, again, every species in the list is cited, which should be enough proof that they all originate from that country. Most of the journal article titles themselves have "Thai" or "Thailand" in them as well. ▼PσlєοGєєк  ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼  07:49, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg No problem PaleoGeekSquared. I see the list is prefaced with "many fossil vertebrates from the Khorat Plateau" which I will presume means that all listed were found there and that the sources (which I don't have access to) support this.
