Overall: ALT1, duly tweaked, is approved, the other two are meh IMO. (Also, technically the source paragraph given merely defines parataxa, but the paper goes on to state that Polystoechotites, as a "collective group", is a parataxon, so all good there.) – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
