Above undated message substituted from

I don't think that this article should use {{Geological period}}, because that calls {{period start}} and {{Period end}} neither of which recognise "Cretaceous Thermal Maximum" as a period name. They're expecting something like "Cretaceous" on its own. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, removed. There may be an alternative, but I haven't been able to find one. Mikenorton (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

My name is Stillr and I will be working on helping to improve this page for my Earth and Atmospheric Science class. I would appreciate any advice, notes, or general knowledge anyone has on the subject they would like to add or edit to. In addition, if anyone who has previously worked on the article before me has input or suggestions, feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and I hope to contribute to this article to reflect the importance of this era on the development of life. While the article presents the topic in a straightforward manner, I believe adding more substance and ideas greatly enhances both the reader experience and takeaway.
