Lack of information

This entry does not explain what kind of teeth Hyopsodontidae have in common, or what the "hyops" prefix means. Presumably, it refers to a kind of tooth structure, but that is not stated, or described. I find it odd that it is stated that they were ungulates, as I see no reference to having hooves. It appears they are possibly the ancestors of ungulates - query: pre-ungulates. Who ever wrote this could certainly be more informative. My comments here are in agreement with remarks I have posted on other science oriented articles, where I complain that some articles are essentially uninformative, to readers who are not specialists in the relevant area of science.

Microhyus - wrong link?

Clicking on "Microhyus" takes you to an article about weevils - that's obviously incorrect, but I lack the knowledge to correct it. Commenting this in hopes someone with more expertise can address this :P 70.82.204.101 (talk) 06:51, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
