Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tweet Kimball

Reply to closing notes

@Bruxton: Hi, I saw your comments and will make some changes to the Kimball article. However, I wanted to make sure you were aware this is a double-barreled hook, with the image attached appearing in the also-nominated Cherokee Ranch petrified forest. Additionally, I wanted to mention that, despite what the Westword article says, Cherokee Ranch is not Colorado's only petrified forest. The Florissant Formation (linked in the see also of the petrified forest article) also contains a petrified forest. Additionally, several other unnamed deposits of petrified wood have been described in the Green Mountain area, about 10-15 miles north of the limit of the Cherokee Ranch forest. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti: Thank you for the message. Well done, I missed that image in the other hook. But nonetheless it is a small piece so not representative of a forest. Thank you for the articles and the nominations. Bruxton (talk) 18:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on the not fully representative bit. It was a bit of a weak picture, I must admit, but all my pictures of larger displayed specimens or preserved logs in situ all came out horrifically blurry. Sadly, to get a second chance at those pictures I'd have to shell out another $40 to get on the Cherokee Ranch property; the featured fossil was one I collected from near my home. Thanks for being understanding and I really appreciate the feedback on the Kimball article's tone! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:42, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
