Prefrontals and nostrils

In the adelospondyls-as-colosteids section, the text said: "Marjanović (2010) claimed that the prefrontal not only contacted the orbits, but also the nares (nostrils), a colosteid characteristic which has been found in adelospondyls by some studies[ref] but not by others.[ref]" As I have since learned, that is not in fact known in any colosteids: none of them has an undamaged nose. This was first pointed out by Lombard & Bolt (2010, description of Deltaherpeton) and is discussed further in one of the first few characters in Appendix S1 of my 2019 paper with Michel Laurin.

I have not checked the rest of the article for outdated bits of information, because unfortunately I don't have time. Just make sure the redescription of the skull (2019) is taken into account. David Marjanović (talk) 15:26, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will be updating the page in the future and I appreciate any help given. Just make sure to be careful of Wikipedia's original research rules since you're one of the authors being cited. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 22:52, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
