The statement that the rocks of the Slieve Mish Mountains" date from the Upper Devonian period (310–450 million years ago)" is incorrect. This is a 140 Myr time interval, whereas the Upper Devonian period (419 to 393 Ma) was a 26 Myr time interval. The presented 140 Myr time interval stretches across four geological periods: Late Ordovician (458-444 Ma) Silurian (444-419 Ma) Devonian 419-358 Ma) Ma and Carboniferous (which ended in 299 Ma). There are also two contradictions. A) The article states that the rock are from the Upper Devonian but also mentions Ordovician metasediments (i.e., metamorphic rocks derived from sedimentary rocks). B) The article gives a 140 Myr time interval and then states: “During this 60 million year period …”

These problems have been resolved in an expansion of the geology section of the article Testatorsilens (talk) 20:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
