Overall:
All checks out. Hook quote confirmed ("The aigialosaur Carsosaurus marchesetti is known from a single specimen... Abundant remains of advanced embryos preserved within the body cavity of Carsosaurus indicate that this individual is a gravid female close to parturition.") Interesting article, thanks.
