Talk:Detroit Seamount

Age contradictions
"Detroit Seamount, which was formed around 76 million years ago" in the introduction and "After its initial formation 51 million years ago" in Geology and "Analysis put the latest date of their formation at 60 million years ago, 6 million years into the seamount's life." in Mantle of sediment. 92.25.7.175 (talk) 03:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Expanded
Expanded a bit, but it's as far as it'll go. Correction:I've added it to my DYK quene, see this! ResMar 22:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Mapping
I created a "Mapping" section to tell the story of mapping the seamount in a coherent narrative, rather than interrupting the geological history of the seamount itself.--Wetman (talk) 22:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Interesting research papers
Located two research papers online that might be worth adding:


 * Fast Paleogene Motion of the Pacific Hotspots from Revised Global Plate Circuit constraints
 * Isotropic evidence for Late Cretaceous plume-ridge interaction at the Hawaiian hotspot

I don't have the knowledge-base to evaluate them properly so I'll leave them here for an interested party.

Name
"Detroit Seamount is one of the few seamounts to break the naming scheme of the Emperor seamounts, which are named mostly after emperors or empresses of the Kofun period of Japanese history. It is instead named after the light cruiser USS Detroit." Why? 104.153.40.58 (talk) 06:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
