This article is perhaps a bit too technical. I've a feeling most readers will not understand most of the content in this article. Technical terms such as squasomal should at least be wikilinked, so that people can find out what a squasomal bone is, and the content should generally be encyclopedic, but not resemble a formal scientific description.

  • The only portion of the article which I might question as being too technical for layreaders would be the diagnosis, but I've been including diagnoses on most of my articles, when available, as the distinctions between closely related taxa often come down to very, very fine points of morphology. I do agree that there should be links to articles describing anatomical elements such as the squamosal, and I always include them when they're available. Unfortunately, a great many skeletal elements have yet to get Wikipedia articles.--Nar'eth 17:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I just noticed this myself. Mea culpa. Carry on.--Firsfron 17:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
      • No problem. :-) I'm going to try to get anatomy stubs up for many more elements of the vertebrate skull. I just did one for squamosal.--Nar'eth 17:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
