Hi - I'll make copyedits as I go (please revert if I inadvertently change the meaning) and jot queries below: cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:34, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

• Measuring 70 centimetres (26.7 inches) in length - the imperial units should be rounded (unless the source is exactly 70 cm..or even 70.0 cm...)

Rounded the imperial measurements. Ichthyovenator (talk) 08:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

• The type A genital appendage was undivided and the pretelson (the segment immediately preceding the telson) - "telson" and "type A genital appendage" need to be linked or explained...I see telson is linked in the next sentence, but should be linked and explained on first mention...which could be tricky here. Anyway, see what you can come up with.

Moved around the sentences to put the explanation of telson first. Attempted to explain type A genital appendage. Ichthyovenator (talk) 08:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

• Shouldn't carinae be carinae (plural)?

Yeah, fixed. Ichthyovenator (talk) 08:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

• link or explain "quadrate"

Done. Ichthyovenator (talk) 08:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

• Again, the Paleoecology would be great if it just had a little bit more information (other critters etc.) to give the reader more of an idea about the environment it lived in.

Tried expanding it a bit. Ichthyovenator (talk) 08:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
