| Short
cut to new, unfinished pages |
| It
has been proposed that thumbnails be reduced from 188 to
150 pixels to give faster page loads - this would be a lot
of work - let me know your thoughts. |
Guidelines
for content contributors and editors:
- Remember,
unlike a book, websites are free to improve and grow
forever.
- Write
originally using plain language; when technical terms
are used, try to provide a definition for the glossary.
Do not worry about grammatical perfection as everything
will be edited and corrected in time.
- Do
strive for scientific accuracy, citing good journals
when possible; the webmaster can lend some support in
literature searches.
- We
aim for picture content to drive development of narrative
content. Narrative should explain in scientific context
the pictures of real fossils.

Site
development resources: |
| The
Fossil Mall has given the museum unrestricted to access
to their content. It is an extensive website. To locate
specific fossils, it is best to start at the index
of fossils for sale, and also see the Trilobites
for Sale page. I also have a link of archived items
not on their website. E-mail their webmaster for requests
for images. Links are not required, and therefore they cannot
be broken. |

Priority - populalate
these tables - make nominations (the
goal is diversity across phyla and ability to highlight
and link to key evolutionary events and extinctions)
Robert
at Educational
Fossils offers to donate fossil
kits for us to give away in exchange for teachers
developing lesson plans to post on the site.
