Talk:Araucariaceae

Wood volume implausibly low

It says Tāne Mahuta has a calculated wood volume of 517 m³. This seems implausibly low.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 14:37, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. I mistakenly read 16.11 ft diameter at base height as 16.11 m.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Araucarites kozloduyana

Is this a joke? Kozloduy Island is also mentioned on the Coal forest page, unreferenced, as containing a coal forest. Seems a bit unlikely as a google search for either reveals nothing and both are widely considered extinct. I will remove this if no one objects.

Statement in overview is silly and should be deleted

The statement "At least one genus, possibly Agathis, survived into the Eocene.[1]" - makes no sense. Right below this is a section that names three (3) extant "genera" of the Araucariaceae. So what does this opening statement mean? Of course at least one genus survived. That's what the article is about. The timeline is also wrong, where it says "recent". It should be "Present". 98.194.39.86 (talk) 04:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Per source, it is talking about araucarians in the northern hemisphere (specifically, North America). The group is now absent in the northern hemisphere, except for a few species of Agathis in Malesia which possibly spread there from the Sahul region in relatively recent times. That said, I agree that the sentence is confusing and I have removed it (unless someone else objects). The use of "present" or "recent" in the geological range template is a matter of convention, I think. Best take up the matter in Template talk:Geological range, as most articles use "recent."-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 04:41, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
