An entry from Mount Kirkpatrick Formation appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 30 November 2006.

[edit] An incomplete thought?

"...expeditions to the formation are increasingly difficult and results are seldom." Are seldom what? Seldom publishable? Why are expeditions increasingly difficult? Worsening climate? Funding drying up? --Wetman 02:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Kirkpatrick Basalt Formation"  ?????

There is no formal stratigraphic unit called the "Mount Kirkpatrick Formation". There are a number of Formations that are exposed at Mount Kirkpatrick which include the Kirkpatrick Basalt, Prebble Formation, Hanson Formation, and Falla Formation. The fossil bearing horizon which produced the dinosaur is in the Hanson Formation. The confused terminology is a major problem with the whole theme of this entry in particular the title.

[edit] Change the name !

This page should be retitled "Hanson Formation" or "Mount Kirkpatrick Fossil Locality" since there is no such thing as the "Mount Kirkpatrick Formation"
