Queries
[edit]I have inserted some invisible ("commented-out" in Wikispeak) queries and suggestions in the text: they show up in red in this diff. Some further queries
- "heteromorph ammonite" Does heteromorph" say anything that "non-typical" wouldn't say? A typical coiled ammonite needs to be noted and Polyptichoceras distinguished from it somewhere in this article.
- What is polyptych-like about this shell? Not every reader will understand -ceras.
- "Named by Yabe": full names on first introduction, just as in real life.
- "Polyptychoceras lived and travelled in schools" How this was deduced is at least as interesting as this assertion.
- "a benthic mode of life". Eating detritus? Any additional detail would subtly remind the reader what "benthic" means.
- "The body would not have been resistant to the pressing shell." Impenetrable. Weight under water? The shell is not neutrally buoyant? Can't even guess.
Remember, you're speaking to encyclopedia-readers, not marine palaeontologists. --Wetman (talk) 02:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
