Miami Oolite → Miami Limestone – Geologists have been moving to a new term Donald Albury 20:12, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Many geologists are now calling this formation "Miami Limestone", as a more appropriate term than "Miami Oolite", in part because the bryozoan facies of the formation is not oolitic. The oolitic and bryozoan facies were deposited at the same time and adjacent to each other, so treating them as one formation under the broader name seems appropriate.

Sources that use "Miami Limestone" (sometimes specify that the older term was "Miami Oolite"):
 * Miami Limestone of Florida and its recent Bahamian Counterpart
 * Miami Limestone
 * Pleistocene Geology - Miami Limestone
 * Virtual Field Trip of Selected Exposures of the Miami Limestone
 * Depositional History of the Oolite of the Miami Limestone Formation (JSTOR)
 * Overview of South Florida Geology

Source that refers to "Miami oolite" as a facies of the "Miami Formation":
 * Alice Wainwright Park

Sources that refer to "Miami oolite" (lower case "oolite") as a facies of "Miami Limestone":
 * Statistical pattern analysis of superficial karst in the Pleistocene Miami oolite of South Florida
 * Oolite
 * Morphometric Comparison of the Pleistocene Miami Oolite and Modern High Energy Sand Bodies of Great Bahama Bank

- I am proposing moving Miami Oolite to "Miami Limestone". As you have edited the article, I am asking for your input on the proposed move at Talk:Miami Oolite. - Donald Albury 20:12, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
