A few queries

molar and diastema are disambs!!!!!!!!
- Fixed. I think the "diastema" meant here is the primary topic, though, so I'll probably request a move.
What is a "fissure filling" (red-linked and unglossed)
- Explained.
The lead gives no real indication where the site is, can the Saint-Alban-de-Roche link come in the lead
- Done.
La Grive L5 what does L5 mean?
- It's on the land of someone called Lechartier, and it's the fifth fissure (counting from north to south). I don't think that needs to be mentioned, though; it's simply the name of the site and the etymology isn't very relevant to this animal.
Isn't Jean Viret notable enough for a red link?
- Probably; I linked him.
Is this mammal likely to have resembled any extant squirrel? If so, it would help to visualise what we are talking about.
- I don't think I can say any more than that it was a large squirrel, and that's already in the article.
Mein and Ginsburg in lit cited needs language indication
- French, of course—I always feel a little silly adding that when it is obvious what the language is.

OK, no other queries, I'll stick the pass tag on. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
