[edit] Comments

Apparently a User:-Ril- doesn't want to see this article merged with Eridanus (mythology) for some reason, but has not commented here and has no user page. --Wetman 16:10, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The geological use of this name is introduced by geologists, NOT palaeogeographists. The revert to palaeogeographers, or so, simply is incorrect.

See the paper in which this name has been introduced: Overeem, I., Weltje, G.J., Bishop-Kay, C. & Kroonenberg, S.B., 2002. The Late Cenozoic Eridanos delta system in the southern North Sea Basin: a climate signal in sediment supply? Basin Research, 13: 293-312.

I should advise you to correct this. --Tom Meijer (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Besides, the use of this name for this 'fossil' river is relatively young and dates as you can see only from 2002. This river system is in England and the Netherlands much better known as the 'Baltic River System'. Of course, this is a less nice name, nevertheless, in geologic literature this name is much more used.--Tom Meijer (talk) 19:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
