Inappropriate category name
[edit]A type specimen such as a holotype defines a taxon. A type specimen of an extinct taxon within the Vertebrata is always a vertebrate fossil. For both reasons the category name “Vertebrata fossil holotypes” doesn’t make sense. It should be renamed to Holotypes of fossil Vertebrata. --Gretarsson (talk) 12:10, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
P.S. The same applies for Animalia fossil holotypes etc. --Gretarsson (talk) 12:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
