Talk:Ultramafic intrusion

The nomenclature convention for igneous complexes is to capitalise all the words. Just FYI. Rolinator 06:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * stratigraphic nomenclature norms say you capitalise the words of, say, Giles Complex, because it is a _formal_ grouping of various intrusions recognised to be of a similar genetic link or igneous event, related to one another - often by differentiation, chronology, etc. Its similar to the Groups and Supergroups of sedimentary nomenclature; cf Bangemall Group and Collier Subgroup, etc etc. So the capitalisation stays, thanks.

Moved hidden comment here. The Bushveld has an article w/out caps - don't lose the link - or else rename the article. And that would prob cause conflict with wiki conventions, but can be done if it's a critical point. Vsmith 16:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

No worries. I may opt to put the majority f the nickel-copper-pge ore genesis stuff in here at least for the ultramafic intrusive style, because it might not fit well elsewhere and is, essentially, controlled by the geochemistry and hysical processes of these intrusions. Obviously, there are a lot of very famous major, major intrusions which need a good description, but this will come in time. Just like the bits about mantle plume origins, rifts, etc etc. Rolinator 17:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge away. 12:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Merged with Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions.
