This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes.

During this period oxygen levels were about 35% (21% today). The rest of the article is the usual academic squabbling, but the link between Oh-two levels and gigantism (and flight) seems quite possiblnastler
