Geology[edit]

I threw in that single sentence before falling asleep, but I still plan to expand and cite the geology section. Since many of the mountain stubs I've seen and/or contributed are missing geology, I'm brushing up on the topic, and hunting down reliable online refs. --Justin 18:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An excellent plan---I agree about the lack of geological info in most mountain articles, including my own contributions. -- Spireguy 21:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes you find an article about a single mountain, but usually you find articles about a group of mountains or a whole range, because nearby mountains have similar geology. What I've found more useful is a guidebook or natural history book: see List of guidebooks about the Sierra Nevada (esp. the Geology section).

You may wish to write a single article about the geology of the whole Palisades group, because I think they all share the same origin and history.

Hey, thanks for the pointer. I found a couple of academic papers about Split in particular, but most mountains won't generate that much interest. I'll be in SNP this weekend, and I recall them having a great local interest library at the Lodgepole visitor center. Now that I'm writing for wikis, I can geek out and shop some good sources. --Justin 15:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

First post ever, go easy one me. This needs a disambiguation page, there is also a Split Mountain in Anza Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP). The one in ABDSP is famous for its anticline, see [Split Mountain Anticline] Sintaur (talk) 19:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem: thanks for pointing that out. What we can do (for simplicity) is leave this article as it is, and if you want to start up a new article about the other Split Mountain, you can start it at Split Mountain (San Diego County, California). hike395 (talk) 19:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a Split Mountain in Dinosaur National Monument as well. -- Riffsyphon1024 (talk) 14:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are 10 mountains by this name in the USA and Canada so I decided to move this article as per naming conventions. There is another peak in California by this name so I used the range as part of the disambiguation name for this article. RedWolf (talk) 17:31, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
