[edit] Improvements

As a modestly-prepared non-specialist, I'm reading this carefully. I thought it would be simplest to insert my commented-out queries and suggestions right into the html rather than here. They are concerned with making this interesting article more accessible to the general encyclopedia user. Sometimes just a brief appositive phrase clarifies a term that is limited to professional jargon. Please double-check my new links for accuracy. Thank you for an interesting read. --Wetman (talk) 04:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all your helpful comments and improvements — very useful! I hope I've not missed anything. Cheers, Verisimilus T 11:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Verisimilus: I'm your average curious encyclopedia reader. I've added some more links (here's the diff): please do check that they're on target. I wonder whether "Trace fossils are virtually absent by nature of the high depositional energy" could be slightly expanded to state the obvious, why this absence should be the result. I've inserted some rather obvious phrases, to make statements more emphatic for us-lot, who need to be led rather explicitly from point to point, hopefully not making things too painfully pedestrian. --Wetman (talk) 14:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Again, thanks for more useful input. Apologies for alienating the non-specialist - I tend to rush my articles a bit too much these days! Verisimilus T 16:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
