    • 2009, Klivo Lendon, transl., La Origino de Specioj, Antverpeno: Flandra Esperanto-Ligo, translation of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, →ISBN, →OL, ĉ. 10:
      Pri la ŝajne subita ekstermiĝo de tutaj familioj aŭ ordoj, kiel la Trilobuloj ĉe la fino de la Paleozoika periodo kaj la Amonitoj ĉe la fino de la sekundara periodo, oni devas memori kio jam estis dirita pri la probablaj vastaj intervaloj de tempo inter sinsekvaj stratumaroj; kaj en ĉi tiuj intervaloj eble okazis multe da malrapida ekstermiĝo.
      With respect to the apparently sudden extermination of whole families or orders, as of Trilobites at the close of the palaeozoic period and of Ammonites at the close of the secondary period, we must remember what has been already said on the probable wide intervals of time between our consecutive formations; and in these intervals there may have been much slow extermination.
