Core topics collaboration The Core Topics Collaboration works to improve essential Wikipedia topics. The current collaboration is Amazon rainforest. The Amazon Rainforest (Brazilian Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica or Amazonía) is a moist broadleaf forest in the Amazon Basin of South America. The area, also known as Amazonia, the Amazon jungle or the Amazon Basin, encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), though the forest itself occupies some 5.5 million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres), located within nine nations: Brazil (with 60 percent of the rainforest), Peru (with 13 percent of the rainforest, second after Brazil), Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests and comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.

Today's featured article The Edmontosaurus mummy SMF R 4036 is a dinosaur fossil in the collection of the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It was found in 1910 in Wyoming, United States, in rocks of the Lance Formation that are about 66 million years old. The mummy is ascribed to the species Edmontosaurus annectens. It comprises a nearly complete skeleton found wrapped in skin impressions, a rare case of preservation for which the term dinosaur mummy has been used. It is assumed that the individual died during a drought and the carcass dried out before being carried away by a sudden flood and buried rapidly. Sand filled the body cavity, preserving the three-dimensional shape of the body, and a biofilm on the skin formed a thin crust of clay that preserved the shape of the skin in positive relief (protruding up from the surface). The mummy was found by Charles Sternberg and his sons. It is one of the best-preserved hadrosaurid mummies and the second to be discovered. (Full article...)
