Plural/singular

You say "turbinate" or "nasal conchae". This is not correct.

The word "concha", meaning variously mollusk/murex/oyster/scallop, pearl/mollusk-shell, Triton horn, female genitalia, or holy-water font, is singular. The word "conchae" is the plural.

You can say "turbinates" or "nasal conchae". You can say "turbinate" or "nasal concha". However, it is incorrect to mix tenses.

Blacklisted external link (emptynosesyndrome.org)

I had to remove an external link to the emptynosesyndrome.org site. I don't know why this URL was blacklisted, other than the discussion at:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2007/02#emptynosesyndrome.org

If this links is useful, perhaps someone with more knowledge of the subject matter can request an appeal of this blacklisting. WatchAndObserve 18:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Turbinal bone preserved in Tyrannosaurus specimen

The 'Trix' Tyrannosaurus specimen includes the first turbinal bone found in a Tyrannosaurus fossil. The "Other animals" section however corroborates that (most) dinosaurs didn't have turbinal bones. The section should be updated IMHO. --Chic happens (talk) 21:36, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
