This is the template project for paleontology...initially, for dinosaurs.

This allows the basic stats of creatures to be put into a format readily recognized and easily parsed by the typical reader, akin to those you see in many casual...and even some academic...paleontology books.

This is akin to the Star Trek Template in gestalt, but this goes in actual Template Space, so it can be changed one time in a central location, whereas the Star Trek Template was intially just some code you copy and paste to a given article.

Stats include:


 * Length
 * Height (head)
 * Height (shoulder or other)
 * Weight
 * geological era
 * when lived (from N years ago to E years ago)
 * Meaning of funky neoclassical name -- Tyrant Lizard King, that sort of thing
 * diet type -- Carnivore, omnivore, insectivore, herbivore
 * diet -- conifers greens, monkeys, whatever
 * Interesting features, comments, and controverseys
 * environment -- Desert, aquatic, semi-aquatic, forest, plains, whatever
 * distribution -- Pangaea, the sea of Tethys, "what would become modern Florida", et cetera
