corax = raven?
[edit]Isn't corax latin for Raven rather than Crow? --Oskila (talk) 22:22, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Corvus is latin for a Crow/Raven/blackbird while Corax is the Greek for a Crow/Raven/blackbird. The actual "vernacular" name to use more correctly raven then crow, yes.--Kevmin § 02:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
A miocene record?

- Your link doesn't work and I'm pretty sure most editors here don't speak French. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 22:01, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I glanced over the paper, and, if one, i.e., you, @Bubblesorg:, could be bothered to actually READ the paper, it states that eroded teeth of Squalicorax and other Cretaceous-aged shark genera are zombie taxa, having eroded out of their original matrix during the Miocene, and then reburied, which is actually dramatically different than being a Miocene record.--Mr Fink (talk) 01:19, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oh so their reworked? That's pretty strange. Also, responding to the other statement guess yeah, most editors cant speak french. I used google translate--Bubblesorg (talk) 14:51, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- The reworking of Cretaceous fossils into the formation is pointed out in the English abstract of the paper, you don't need to know French to understand that. Macrophyseter | talk 20:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
