This will be my first review. The only extinct animal articles I've made substantial edits to were extinct heterodont clams in April, so I'll probably ask for a second opinion. I decided it was only fair after I nominated 3 more articles, so I want to relieve the backlog. SUM1 (talk) 04:03, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Well I'm just going to pass this article, since there are clearly no outstanding problems anymore and no one came to offer a second opinion. It presents an all-round description of Castorocauda with minimal-to-no available information left out and good grammar and organisation. I consider it highly unlikely to be contested.
