From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I stumbled across this article, it's a packed aggregate of bituminous information.

This link above[[1]]seems to go to an empty page and the link returns a 404 (under construction web site)?Mark2120 04:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
This page would benefit from a preamble about the history of bitumen. Its first recorded use was in Sumer, around 2200 BC. Even before the invention of writing it was used in Mesopotamia to waterproof boats. Reference: http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198406/bitumen.-.a.history.htm

[edit] Picture?
This article is looking really good, but would someone be able to add a picture? Megan102 00:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes some more contemporary image would suffice Mark2120 04:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photo
Photos of real bitumen (natural state, close-up etc) would be much better than any golden art object...
[edit] Unclear units
It is the heaviest fraction and the one with the highest boiling point of 100 degrees.
Fahrenheit or Celsius? int3gr4te 02:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
And I don't believe that Bitumen has a boiling point of 100 degress (in any unit). This seems way too low.SBDave 07:41, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Temperature
They cite that it has a boiling point of 100 degrees. We need to know if that is F or C, since American's have not switched over.--150.135.110.219 19:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

The link to 'Controversies surrounding Royal Duch Shell' isn't relevant to this article MagnusL (talk) 09:56, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
