Proposed merge from Princeton Chert[edit]

Subtopic of the Allenby formation, with much shared/same information— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevmin (talk • contribs) 21:15, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the idea of merging the Princeton Chert article with the Allenby Formation article. The Princeton Chert is a significant Eocene fossil site, and the article highlights this point. It is therefore more a paleontology article than an article about a rock formation. Eocene guy (talk) 22:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

over 5x expansion from 419 to 7196 bytes; all sources appear reliable (based on Google searches); every paragraph, quote, and list entry is cited; article neutral; no copyvio detected (AGF on paywalled sources). Hooks are cited, not long, and interesting; ALT0 is good to go, but ALT1 (and the sentence in the article) needs clarification on what "compared" entails (are they similar? In which aspects?).
