Caves of Kesh

[edit]
  • ... that the discovery of a fossilized frog in the Caves of Kesh in 1901 disproved a common belief that the species was only introduced into Ireland in 1699? Source: 'The Exploration of the Caves of Kesh, County Sligo' by R.F. Scharff (pg. 184)
    • ALT1:... that the common belief that the frog was introduced into Ireland in 1699 was disproven when a fossilized specimen was found in the Caves of Kesh in 1901? Source: same as above

  • Comment: the words "in 1901" may be lost in either of the hooks if needed

  • What a very nice article! It is new enough and long enough, the hook fact is interesting and cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no significant copyright issues. Either hook could be used. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
