Dates of study vs. publication?

[edit]

The article says, "... carried out a joint study of the slab between 2017 and 2021. The study was published as an article in April 2014 ..." Presumably the 2014 publication is from a study prior to the joint work by the French institute, Bournemouth, et al. Could someone resolve this? Kelseymh (talk) 03:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted Kelseymh. It was a typo I made, I meant 2021. The article in question is the one cited here - Dumelow (talk) 05:50, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
