paleonet Aquagenesis: The Origin and Evolution of Life in the Sea (byRichard Ellis)



Greetings,

I've only made it to page 78. So far I'm not impressed with the editing.

Example 1 (page 47, bottom paragraph): "The tribolite thorax . . ." 
should be "The trilobite thorax . . ."

Example 2 (page 48, figure caption): "One of the earliest known 
trilobites is Olenellus, first  found in New York State and later in 
Scotland. Even the earliest trilobites had well-developed 
multifaceted eyes, the first complex eyes in history". The trilobite 
shown is NOT Olenellus.

Example 3 (page 58, line 19): "the Precambrian genus known as 
Endoceras" should be "the Ordovician genus known as Endoceras"

I think you get the idea.

Best wishes,

Doug Boyce
