Olorgesailie

Suggested edits: Include new section about Olorgesailie Drilling Project, as well as update existing sections for accuracy and detail. History of excavation at the site, the various prehistoric environmental conditions, information about the fauna (including updating the bit where it says that the animals were likely butchered, which aside from one known butchery site, is not accurate), are all examples of sections that need more information.

Liang Bua
|
Suggested Edits: Expand article to include more about the 50-plus-year history of excavation at Liang Bua. Change "discovery" date to "first excavated" date, as people living in the area knew that the cave existed before the 1950s. Correct inaccurate information about the dig closing; the article referenced says that he was getting ready to leave for the season, not forever.

Cleofé Caldéron
|
botanist[204][205][206][207][208][209]
- Rediscovered Anomochloa in 1976 with assistant Sr. Talmon dos Santos in Bahia, Brazil. This tropical forest grass had died out, so this was a tremendous discovery and set the path for Judziewicz and Soderstrom (1989) to do a detailed morphological and anatomical study. This study confirmed Anomochloa was a grass and offered insight into its peculiar flowering structures.
- Deposited approximately 1000 collections, many of them bamboo, at the U.S. National Herbarium
- Discovered and named approx. 20 taxa [210][211][212]
