Talk:Cataclasite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I altered "porphyroclast" to "clast" as the linked definition for porphyroclast only mentions grain-size reduction by recrystallization. I know that porphyroclast is in the Brodie et al. proposed nomenclature but I think that many structural geologists would disagree with that usage. I had an article on cataclasite all ready to go, but I was a day too late :). I added a section on formation, for which I'll try to find a good reference, and an extra category.

I have absolutely no expertise in the topic and so I have no idea what that meant. I just learn enough necessary to create a basic article so that some poor kid doing a research paper can have some kind of basic introduction to the topic, and then I just let other people edit it while I work on stuff like mechanics, etc. which is where more of my knowledge lies. --queso man 01:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Just keep up the good work, leave the specialists to nitpick. The next job is to do something with the articles on "cataclasis" and "cataclastic", I'll probably just redirect them when I've worked out how. Mikenorton 05:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
