Films of phyllicate (clay) minerals[edit]

Phyllicate? Would it be better just to say clay minerals? We already have phyllosilicates and clay minerals to muddy the waters enough...? Psuedomorph (talk) 14:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Burgess Shale type preservation[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Burgess Shale type preservation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Butterfield2001":

From Cambrian explosion: Butterfield, N.J. (2001). "Ecology and evolution of Cambrian plankton". The Ecology of the Cambrian Radiation. Columbia University Press, New York: 200–216. ISBN 978-0-231-10613-9. Retrieved 2007-08-19.
From Cambrian substrate revolution: Butterfield, N.J. (2001). "Ecology and evolution of Cambrian plankton": 200–216. Retrieved 2007-08-19. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dead link[edit]

Could someone mark the link in reference one as dead? I cannot find the reference in the page code.
