Talk:Chainman Shale

Merger proposal
I propose that White Pine Shale be merged into Chainman Shale. According to the USGS the White Pine Shale was a description by Arnold Hague in the 1870's and 1880's survey of the Eureka Mining district which combined the Pilot shale, Joana Limestone, and Chainman shale at its broadest application, but elsewhere only included the Chainman shale, such that when it was recognized that there were the different layers by Spencer (1917) the White Pine label was ignored and new names given, it was then argued in 1960 that White Pine be used in place of Chainman Shale, but Chainman shale (or formation) is the USGS preferred usage as the most complete paper in 1956 used Spencer's terminology, despite White Pine having priority. Since that is the case then White Pine should be included in this article. source: https://books.google.com/books?id=m7oQ2L_4J7oC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=White+Pine+Shale&source=bl&ots=oswClYhcAx&sig=7reB546yv6eSDG6nf6hjzxv7chQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNjJmQ8OHMAhUB7SYKHQOCCP4Q6AEIRTAI#v=onepage&q=White%20Pine%20Shale&f=false Falconjh (talk) 20:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
