From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you elect to use my talk page please use category headings for things on new subjects, it would really be helpful.

I don't log in more than a couple of times per week so my response times may vary, please be patient I will always eventually respond.

If you have any problems with an edit I make because you know it is factually inaccurate in some way I will never be offended if it is changed (provided there is a citation for the fact).

[edit] Oil shale

Hi. You are listed as a participant in WikiProject Geology. Maybe you to please consider helping to improve the oil shale article. This article has developed quite well, but some more expert assistance is needed. Thank you in advance. Beagel 17:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Sedimentology: Hello, I applaud Wiki and its efforts, so please do not take this as being an attack. As you note for the 'Sedimentology' article on Wiki, there are many truths to the page but it lacks references. One aspect that is very debatable is the 'Basic principles' heading. Many of the listed principles are not purely sedimentological, they apply to any type of rock and are actually basic principles of 'stratigraphy', which is wholly different but a related branch of geology (for reference see the Wiki article on Joseph Steno & 'Steno's Law'). Principle of superposition, original horizontality, principle of lateral continuity, principle of cross-cutting relationships are all stratigraphic principles not sedimentological and can be applied to volcanic, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Moreover, "...recognising younging indicators or fining up sequences is critical to interpretation of the sedimentary section..." is highly simplistic and very incorrect. Many, many sedimentological sequences coarsen upward as they go from older layers to younger layers. One of the most classic examples of a sedimentary sequence is of a lower delta plain, such as found at the Mississippi. These sequences characteristically coarsen up from pro-delta/bay, distal bar, to distributary mouth bar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.122.106 (talk) 20:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
