 | This article is missing information about 1. A better context-explain Permian geologic period; 2. More exact location of this formation (other than "western US"); 3. Better description of the fish fossils; 4. Date of discovery; 5. Occupation/background of Harry Nazer (possibly Harry R. Nazer ? Jan 28, 1916-Mar 5, 1990). Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page. (November 2023) |
