I was going to promote this, but I'm worried that the wikilink in the hook is misleading, causing readers to think they are clicking on Eoseira wilsonii instead of Eoseira. I'm suggesting some ALTs below:

ALT0a: ...that Eoseira wilsonii, a member of the genus Eoseira, produced a slime that likely helped in fossil preservation?
ALT0b: ... that a slime produced by Eoseira wilsonii, a member of the genus Eoseira, likely helped in fossil preservation?

@Z1720: I don't see an issue with the current structure. There is only a single species in the genus, the article covers that in the very first sentence. I think both proposed alts are suffering from over verbosity along the addition of wikiliks that lead to the same article the bolded link does. Why do you feel the article is not clear that its about the genus and species both, (as all the known information covers both without separation?--Kev min § 20:32, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-04-24T20:32:00.000Z","author":"Kevmin","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Kevmin-2022-04-24T20:32:00.000Z-Z1720-2022-04-24T20:21:00.000Z","replies":["c-Z1720-2022-04-24T20:41:00.000Z-Kevmin-2022-04-24T20:32:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Kev"}}-->

@Kevmin: Answering your question, in ALT0 the hook says Eoseira wilsonii, while the wikilink is to Eoseira. Since there's an article to Eoseira wilsonii, readers might think they are clicking on the species article but instead going to the Eoseira. To use an analogy, this would be like a hook saying "Canada" but linking to "North America": readers would think they are clicking on a link to the country, but are instead going to the article about the continent. I feel like this creates an MOS:EGG situation, where the piped link is not intuitive.

The readers ARE being taked to the article on Eoseira wilsonii though, they are not bein taken to an article on something else. This is not an mos:egg situation as the article that eraders come to is the article on the subject. The very first sentance in the opening of Eoseira is Eoseira is an extinct genus of diatoms belonging to the family Aulacoseiraceae and containing the single species Eoseria wilsonii.--Kev min § 20:53, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-04-24T20:53:00.000Z","author":"Kevmin","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Kevmin-2022-04-24T20:53:00.000Z-Z1720-2022-04-24T20:41:00.000Z","replies":["c-Z1720-2022-04-24T21:05:00.000Z-Kevmin-2022-04-24T20:53:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Kev"}}-->

This is my mistake: I did not notice that Eoseira wilsonii leads to Eoseira. I am going to reevaluate this now to see if it can be promoted.

I'm not expert in the topic, but why is there an illustration of a different species, with what sure looks like a misspelled caption?

@IAmNitpicking:, the spelling error has been corrected. The illustration is used in conjunction with the paleoecology paragraph which notes Aulacoseira species diatoms also present in the Horsefly shales, and with the classification paragraph discussing the relationship between Aulacoseira and Eoseira--Kev min § 15:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-05-03T15:22:00.000Z","author":"Kevmin","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Kevmin-2022-05-03T15:22:00.000Z-IAmNitpicking-2022-05-03T13:01:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Kev"}}-->
