File:Thrissops cf formosus 01.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Thrissops cf formosus 01.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 23, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-02-23. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 17:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

A fossil of Thrissops formosus, a member of the extinct fish genus Thrissops that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Thrissops were fast predatory fish, about 24 inches (60 cm) long, that fed on other bony fish. They had a streamlined body with a deeply cleft tail and only very small pelvic fins.Photo: H. Zell
