Talk:38th parallel structures

Attention needed

I think this article requires updating. Some interesting sources are found at http://www.impactcraters.us/the_ozarks_region and http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008AGUFM.P31A1384E. I can't get to it right now and invite any interested editor to pitch in, especially anyone with a background in geology. --Kbh3^rd talk 03:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Image update needed

The Weaubleau-Osceola name in the image needs to be updated to reflect current literature. The Weaubleau-Osceola name has been abandoned in favor of Weaubleau. One of the most recent abstracts discussing the Weaubleau is https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2010AM/finalprogram/abstract_178918.htm
and an older one https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2008AM/finalprogram/abstract_144236.htm --Userkv8031 (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. It appears that it was in 2003, at the 50th annual meeting of the Association of Missouri Geologists that the longer name was proposed:

Discovery of a 19-km-diameter circular topographic lowland in the vicinity of Osceola and Collins in southwestern Missouri (Figure I-1; Evans et al. 2003a) has placed new constraints on the dimensions of the Weaubleau structure of Beveridge (1951). This topographic feature outlines an area of deformed strata, and herein, we propose use of the name Weaubleau-Osceola structure to more accurately reflect the larger scope of this feature.[1]

However, Evans, one of the primary researchers on this and the first to seriously propose an impact origin, is also an author of those more recent sources which you reference with the shorter name. --Kbh3^rd talk 17:44, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
