Cell background colors

[edit]

The background colors of the cells are a means to communicate the relevant organism's taxonomic status.

Color key
Taxon Reclassified taxon Taxon falsely reported as present Dubious taxon or junior synonym Ichnotaxon Ootaxon Morphotaxon
Notes
Uncertain or tentative taxa are in small text; crossed out taxa are discredited.

Red for reclassified and preoccupied

Purple for taxa falsely reported as present:

|style="background:#f3e9f3;" |


Dark grey for discredited taxa:

|style="background:#E6E6E6;" |


Peach for Ichnotaxa:

|style="background:#FEF6E4;" |


Light blue for Ootaxa:

Purbeck Limestone Formation

[edit]

There is a Purbeck Limestone Formation. Any reason why it should be separate? FunkMonk (talk) 19:00, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We also have Purbeck Marble. Is this right? FunkMonk (talk) 01:58, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Geological period

[edit]

Just curious - my geological map of the UK (1979, Ordnance Survey for the Institute of Geological Sciences, scale about 1 inch to 10 miles) shows the Purbeck formation as unambiguously Jurassic, whereas it is now described as Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous. So I wonder what has happened since 1979 to change the classification. Or does the text of this article imply some continuing uncertainty?109.158.133.165 (talk) 13:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The latest view on this bit of stratigraphy is this report. Mikenorton (talk) 23:44, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
