I was just checking throught the references and they seem a bit mixed up. You probably already know this but just in case it has been overlooked. Chris Day (talk) 06:14, 15 October 2007 (CDT)


a couple of comments

Good job so far. This is really interesting stuff. It would be helpful if you could introduce the ways that leopards act as taphonomic agents in the lead before jumping into the case studies. A short paragraph explaining the information that you've already included in other sections would do the trick, I think. So, leopards prefer dark spaces, drag their prey into caves, they leave the bones behind, etc.

I was also wondering if you might be able to write a more general article called "Taphonomic agent." You obviously have a good grasp on the concept and while this article is quite interesting, I think most people would look up the more general article before coming to this one.

Keep up the good work! Joe Quick 11:47, 15 October 2007 (CDT)
