DYK text

Is the DYK text incomplete or missing something? Or perhaps it's using niche jargon? I'm struggling to understand what "was not confirmed from Washington state" is supposed to mean. Vadim Galimov (talk) 09:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in the article, leaves resembling T. hopkinsii were tentatively identified in 2007, but it wasn't until further fossils had been recovered that researched confirmed the Washington State fossils were of the same species as the British Columbia fossils.--Kev min § 15:58, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
