> I've spent a couple of months researching, verifying, and re-writing this page:

Maotianshan shales

I did it in a sandbox:

User:Locomiguel/sandbox

It's almost done, and ready for copy editing by fresh eyes, and wikification. Wikipedia says to be bold, but I thought I should ask advice about next step(s) before proceeding. Thanks Loco 23:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Your article already looks more comprehensive than the current article. I suggest you replace their version with your sandbox version. And be sure to write an edit summary in the box down there before you edit. bibliomaniac15 00:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You could probably check out Requests for feedback to have people look over the page and help wikify it if you are still unsure of the quality of it. It looks really good and detailed to me, but I'm no archaeologist, so I suggest directing comments like this toward the feedback process. Jfing  e  r s  88  00:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Mike, a civil engineer and serious fossil collector.

I have many images from my fossl collection, but must first learn how to upload them to wikipedia.

I am currently collecting papers and studying the Chengjiang fossil site of China, which has long facinated me, in hopes of contributing to Wikipedia's not yet mature treatment of this important Paleontological discovery. I'm also in search of images for same.

Research papers needed for: Cotyledion tylodes, a putative echinoderm, older papers say there are no echinoderms Xianguangia sinica, one of only two Cnidarians

For Chengjiang, the long partial genera list should be replaced with a list of phyla, and perhaps the number of species described in each.

A Taphonomy section is needed.

Asaphida - Pretty skimpy, with too much emphasis on Russian trilobites with high eyestalks.

Laggerstatten - the subjective nature of the laggerstat designation should be explained - good example is the 40 or so Burgess Sale-type deposits occuring worldwide.
