Talk:Anomalocaris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
72.134.44.224 20:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)I'm not very experienced with Wikipedia, but I noticed that two categories were virtually parallel and should have links between each other. The Cambrian Category holds a mishmash of geologic periods, vertebrates and invertebrates. The Prehistoric Arthropods category holds several Cambrian arthropods that are not in the Cambrian category. So, I added several Cambrian invertebrates (some of them of uncertain classification, but it is much easier to find them in one unified category). It might make sense to have a sub-category in Prehistoric Arthropods for prehistoric invertebrates of uncertain classification, or vice versa. To try to make this little post understood so it can be discussed, I will post this in the talk page for Anomalocaris, Anomalocarid, Aysheaia, and Hallucigenia. Hope this helps Wikipedia's support of a nice little-known topic.
- Perhaps we should make a category for prehistoric organisms of uncertain status, i.e., the weird thingamajiggers that we're unsure where they fit in the Tree of Life, like Dickinsonia, or Tullimonstrum?--Mr Fink 23:27, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think that would make the mess of categories a lot simpler, and so someone doing research on this kind of topic would have an easier time finding correlations between animals and periods.72.134.44.224 21:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
