Interestingly, there has been a lot of discussion on this subject over
at our colleagues': http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Eduzendium and
talk page.

For comparison, and without further comment (because I lack the
knowledge to judge the articles), here are some of the articles they
received from these assignments:
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Leopards_as_taphonomic_agents
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Hyaenas_as_taphonomic_agents

Our coverage of taphonomy now doesn't even come close to theirs. hether
that's a good thing, I don't know.
