Arcovenator
edit... that the fossil remains of A. escotae, of genus Arcovenator, were found during activities before construction took place on the stretch of the A8 motorway?

- Comment: I must be honest and say, as the creator of that article, that hook is a bit garbled. Something like the alternate option below would articulate the facts a bit better. --Dracontes (talk) 23:50, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that the fossils of the dinosaur Arcovenator escotae were found through preliminary digging before construction took place on the A8 motorway in the French Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region?
Newness and Length both good. References very good, and Alt1 hook sourced correctly. no policy issues found. A great looking article. My only suggestion would possibly be to change "preventative prospecting" to "preliminary digging" to make the concept a little more accessible?--Kevmin § 22:22, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
