Cell background colors[edit]

The background colors of the cells are a means to communicate the relevant organism's taxonomic status.

Color key

Taxon	Reclassified taxon	Taxon falsely reported as present	Dubious taxon or junior synonym	Ichnotaxon	Ootaxon	Morphotaxon

Notes
Uncertain or tentative taxa are in small text; ~~crossed out~~ taxa are discredited.

Red for reclassified and preoccupied

Purple for taxa falsely reported as present:

Dark grey for discredited taxa:

Untitled[edit]

Picture shown is of Dinosaur National Monument, not Dinosaur Provincial Park. The Park does not have the deep, steep-sided canyon shown. Anky-man 15:51, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Anky-man

The upper picture will be removed because it is not the Dinosaur Park Formation. Anky-man 02:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Dinosaur Park Formation[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Dinosaur Park Formation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "longrich2008":

From Ornithomimus: Longrich, N. (2008). "A new, large ornithomimid from the Cretaceous Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada: Implications for the study of dissociated dinosaur remains." Palaeontology, 51(4): 983-997.
From Hell Creek Formation: Longrich (2008), pages 983-996.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Taxon falsely reported as present[edit]

That seems a bit misleading, it is not that someone is trying to deceive, just differences/updates in taxonomy. There's also a bit of inconsistency. One single taxon (Leptoceratops) is striked out because it has been reclassified, but none others are. This could be done better. And under ceratopsian, one undescribed taxon is listed outside the column, and another inside. Any reason for this? FunkMonk (talk) 18:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
