I have greatly expanded the article on Deodat de Dolomieu for the Wikipedia. The article is based on an earlier article that I wrote for a college text published by University of Missouri which is out of print. I used as principal sources Carozzi and Zenger (1981) in which there is an English translation of Dolomieu (1791) and Zenger et al. (1994). I also used a dusty old volume on scientific biography to which I no longer have access, otherwise I would cite it below also. I look forward to any additions and/or corrections.

[edit] Place of death

The current location name Chateuneuf is clearly not correct (typo + need to be disambiguated). Any better version of the location name? olivier (talk) 08:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
