[TTU Mammals 84773] Artibeus obscurus - US-style date not parsed correctly

[rdmpage]

For this record (and others fro this source) the US-style date month/day/year has not been parsed correctly. The verbatim date 7/19/2001 has been interpreted as day=7, year=2001, and the month field is not present (I'm guessing because 19 is not a valid month number). I suspect that most, if not all of the verbatim dates in this dataset are likely to be incorrectly interpreted.

The VertNet migrator (https://github.com/VertNet/toolkit) for the TTU data set was updated to version 2015-01-27. This version correctly constructs the eventDate from the verbatimEventDate.
