I see from the Internet there seems to be some equivocation about what "Caledonian" should mean. Anyone know anything about that and care to introduce it as a problem?Botteville 00:09, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
It's quite precisely defined, see http://eprints.ouls.ox.ac.uk/archive/00000805/01/McKerrow_2000.pdf among others.
... a hypothetical series of events in geologic history explaining a group of highland formations that are very similar ... argh! This convoluted ... ahh, bit of prose, needs a major rewrite by a geologist. One more on my todo list - later :-) Vsmith 02:53, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Assumptions?
There are many assumptions in this article regarding the references to the geological column which are put forward as facts. This is still theoretical as are all the dates. The geological column exists nowhere in the world! This article should be noted as being based on generally accepted, but unproven, theories. Refer definition empirical science and please apply.
