A fossil Rhus boothillensis leaf

... that the fossil sumac Rhus boothillensis (pictured) is named for a public fossil digging site in Republic, Washington? Source: "This species refers to the collecting locality, Boot Hill, where public diggers have collected fossil plants and insects for the past three decades." (Flynn, DeVore, & Pigg, 2019)

Hook is interesting enough for a broad audience, neutral, properly formatted, cited and matches source. Image has appropriate license, is suitable for main page, and is used in article. Page is long enough, has been expanded fivefold, is within policy, and properly cites reliable sources. Looks good to go for DYK overall! My only concern is the last sentence under Taxonomy lacks a citation, which appears like it should be the same source used for the rest of that paragraph? So it just needs to be moved to the end of the section (correct me if I'm wrong and it's another source though). ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 12:42, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extra reference tag added to the last sentence PaleoGeekSquared.--Kev min § 22:41, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No further issues! Ready for DYK now. ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 10:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
