Theora mesopotamica

(

)

... that Theora mesopotamica was once given the name Abra cadabra, because a scientist believed it "had been dead for a long time, and could be described as a cadaver"?

Comment: Some of the text is copied from and attributed to a PD source, but the article is long enough excluding that.

New enough, long enough, and well referenced. Hook is verified with inline reference. Text from PD source is properly attributed. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 03:50, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
