Nominator(s): Fossiladder13 (talk) 19:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about...Tullimonstrum, an enigmatic bilaterian animal from the Mazon creek fossil beds of northern Illinois. It has stumped paleontologists for over 50 years on its taxonomy. Some suggestions include, Conodonts, an Echinoderm, a fish, and an sea squirt larvae. The creature comes from the late Pennsylvanian of the Carboniferous period, around 307 million years ago. It is so far only known from the Mazon creek sites, so it is a very unique organism. I would like to thank anyone who can help give feedback. Fossiladder13 (talk) 19:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image review
Best would be peer review first, since again, most of the text here seems to have been written by other editors. I think it needs serous content expansion before going anywhere. FunkMonk (talk) 14:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok @FunkMonk, Thanks again, I am currently a little busy, so I will try to get a peer edit going soon. Fossiladder13 (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and suggest withdrawal

[edit]

Recusing to review. I agree with most of the above and suggest that the nominator withdraw this to work it up to FAC standard. Among other things:

  • I note two grammatical errors in "it seems this creature was free swimming predator that hunted in the oceans water column."
  • There are five single sentence paragraphs.
