Nassau Mountains (Q20019224) is the type locality (Q2405146) of Guyanancistrus nassauensis (Q47461565)
See alsotype locality (geology) (P2695) for geology

Motivation

As discussed on the WikiProject Taxonomy talk page, a property allowing to inform on the type locality of taxa would be required. The type locality (geology) (P2695) used in geology is different from the concept used in taxonomy (for instance it can concern two localities while it is unique in zoology). See also Wikidata:Property_proposal/Archive/47#P2695, where Earth and Life Sciences were kept separated. Totodu74 (talk) 13:49, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
