[edit] Documentation

{{infobox Paleontology}} is a template for paleontology...initially, for dinosaurs.

This allows the basic stats of creatures to be put into a format readily recognized and easily parsed by the typical reader, akin to those you see in many casual...and even some academic...paleontology books.
