Help fixing text
As part of project punctuation we found the following sentence in this article that lacks an ending period. I can't make sense of this sentence, though, particularly the combination of parentheses and em dashes. The 'while' at the beginning seems unresolved. Can someone who understands the subject fix it, perhaps by breaking it into several simpler sentences? Brighterorange 16:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It seems likely then that while there was some sort of end Carnian extinction (several [[herbivorous]] archosauromorph groups died out at this time, while the large herbivorous [[therapsid]]s - the [[Kannemeyeridae |Kannemeyerid]] [[dicynodont]]s and the [[Traversodontidae|Traversodont]] [[cynodont]]s - were much reduced, at least in the northern half of Pangaea ([[Laurasia]]))
- Has my edit improved clarity? --Wetman 18:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Box
In the box, is this sequence instinctive? Doesn't it read as though Cretaceous came first? it certainly would in any human history box. Do people see that the stratigraphic sequence is being represented?Wetman 05:17, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- by convention, geological history is read from the bottom up (geological column). Yeah i know it's counter-intuitive, but the only other option is to read it from left to right M Alan Kazlev 15:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Late Triassic extinction event
Robert Carroll's Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution indicates that Plesiosauria survived the Late Triassic extinction event.
- yes, plesiosaurs were rare in the Triassic, but became common during the Jurassic M Alan Kazlev 15:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
