alt1 "... that the Jurassic conifer Araucaria mirabilis (cone pictured) of Argentina, may have been a primary food for sauropods?"

Hook references and fact are good, I suggest ALT1. Article length, references and date check, no policy issues found. Awesome to see an article on the species!--Kev min § 21:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. :) Alt hook is fine with me, except "primary food" should be "primary food source", imo. Per below.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 00:54, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

ALT2 "... that the Jurassic conifer Araucaria mirabilis (cone pictured) of Argentina, may have been a primary food source for sauropods?"
