Not specified

It says there are different layers of the Morrison formation, but it doesn't say which dinosaurs are from which layer, this is a petty big problem when you think about the fact that many people use Wikipedia as a informational resource and there aren't man(easy to find) other resources on the internet that provide that information. This is even worse given that the Morrison is one of the most well known formations, someone fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.176.114.76 (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I came on looking for how the large theropods all lived here, hoping to find that the where from different layers...142.176.114.76 (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

D. lacustris

Diplodocus lacustris is dubious, but is treated valid on this page.142.176.114.76 (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

C. amplus

Camtosaurus amplus is listed as a valid Camtosaurus species, however Mcdonald 2011 said it to be an allosaurid foot; I didn't read any of the other Google Scholar results, but I'm confident enough to say that it should be removed from the list.142.176.114.76 (talk) 21:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edmarka

Edmarka has been removed from the list, as per probable synonymy with Torvosaurus tanneri, but the proper procedure would be to label (Color.) it reclassified and mention the probable synonymy in the notes. I would fix this myself, but every time I mess with these boxes I mess something up.142.176.114.76 (talk) 01:57, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nanosaurus and its new status

In 2018, there was a study that revealed Drinker and Othnielosaurus were synonymous with Nanosaurus.^[1] As such, shouldn't we incorporate this on the page? OviraptorFan (talk) 15:42, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
