Talk:Oise amber

Questions
, a few questions and comments. I am reading the article and sources without specialist knowledge. TSventon (talk) 22:33, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "both types of amber have similar geographic origins" I can't find this in the source, do you mean geological?
 * two amber-rich deposits were discovered" I can't find this in the source, what was the other one?
 * "produced by an angiosperm of the family Fabaceae" this should be combined with Hymenaea oblongifolia sentence
 * "amber can be found" the sites are no longer accessible per David Penney 2010, page 140
 * who is De Franceschi?
 * "diversity of vertebrate fauna in Oise amber. Dental and skeletal remains". I think this relates to the amber containing strata, not the amber itself
 * "coprolites have been found in Oise amber" again, I think this relates to the amber containing strata.


 * Hello : and here are answers to your questions:
 * No, I mean geographic. (See page 143, the second-to last paragraph)
 * I can't find it in the source as well (which also mentions De Franceschi), but one of the other sources has it. Changing.
 * Combining.
 * It should work now.
 * I am not sure. It never mentions their first name (if they have any) in the citation. See the source and search for "De Franceschi" in the search box on the bottom left-hand side. We may want to remove that until it's clear who he is.
 * Yes, the source does say that. Fixing.
 * Fixing.

, more comments.
 * 1 Thank you, the source says "geographical origins", but I am still not sure what that means, can you explain? I would suggest adding page numbers to book references by using Template:Rp.
 * 2 The article says that de Ploeg discovered Charentes amber and that Charentes amber is found in the Oise valley, which the source doesn't support.
 * 3 I think "angiosperm of the family Fabaceae" could be omitted. The full classification is apparently Plantae, Tracheophytes, Angiosperms, Eudicots, Rosids, Fabales, Fabaceae, Detarioideae, Detarieae, Hymenaea.
 * 4 I have changed sediments "can be found" to amber "were found" as the sites are no longer accessible
 * 5 Both De Franceschi and Jean Jossang should probably be omitted as Wikipedia mentions researchers sparingly, see e.g. Manual of Style/Chemistry. Jossang is probably male, see Jean (male given name).
 * 6 I have adjusted this further
 * 7 Now OK. TSventon (talk) 22:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)


 * 1 I think that means that both ambers come from a similar location.
 * 2 Yes, now that I look at it, it seems that the ambers were discovered at the same time... but not in the same place. Changing.
 * 3 Removed.
 * 5 Removed. The only Jeans I've met were female. Whoops.

 * , everything looks fine now, I have done some more copy editing and reworded a sentence which was very similar to one in the NYT article. TSventon (talk) 06:12, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
