• ... that the flightless suliforme Klallamornis likely went extinct when the volcanic islands it used for shelter along the coast of the Pacific Northwest eroded away into the Pacific Ocean? Source: "Global changes in the temperature of the oceans and the erosion of the offshore volcanic islands on which they nested may have caused the extinction of large-sized, and eventually all genera of plotopterids."

  • ALT1: ... that the pelagic flightless suliforme Klallamornis swallowed pebbles like the modern king penguin, for reasons yet unknown? Source: "Pebbles found in association with the Whiskey Creek K. buchanani and with the holotype of K. abyssa may indicate that Klallamornis may have consumed pebbles to serve as gastroliths, for reasons yet unknown, like modern penguins,[7] and its relative Olympidytes."

  • Comment: This is my first nomination for a DYK, so I'm not sure I'm not messing this up, honestly.

Created by Larrayal (talk). Self-nominated at 03:13, 18 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Klallamornis; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is long enough and fresh off the presses. Copyvio not detected. Referencing is good. Hooks are interesting and cited inline - will AGF against the paywalls. First DYK so we can skip on the QPQ. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

The links in the hook are excessive but the article is interesting WP:SEAOFBLUE. Bruxton (talk) 23:35, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
