Canyon Lake Gorge[edit]

The same formation, complete with fossil dinosaur footprints, has been exposed at Canyon Lake Gorge. Do you want to mention that in this article, and bring the Canyon Lake Gorge article into the ssme projects? . . dave souza, talk 10:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Glen Rose formation actually is exposed in a large section of west, south central and north central Texas, and not just in a single locality as implied in the article. There has been extensive work published on its fossils. I will try to revise the article and add some of the most important references. Ecphora (talk) 14:09, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

George Adams[edit]

Link three is broken, so everything relating to George Adams and the hoax will either need to be removed or re-sourced. Rancidtuna (talk) 20:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you relink it to a Google cache of the article? Abyssal (talk) 21:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers occasionally swap link structures around. It's fixed. Kuru ^talk 00:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its busted again... Farsight001 (talk) 10:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revised article[edit]

I am posting a completely revised article to which I have added many references and some images. I have tried to retain all verifiable content. If I have accidentally deleted something significant, please add it back. Please also note the following:

1. I have deleted, but linked, the discussion of the supposed human footprints. That discussion appears verbatim in the article on Dinosaur Valley State Park. One discussion is all it merits on Wikipedia. I think it fits better in that article, and not here in an article on the entire formation. It also should be removed from the article on the Paluxy River.

2. I have deleted the table and images; although beautiful (and no doubt work intensive), I think that the little information on vertebrate remains in the GR does not justify the large table. The information in the table is incorporated in the text.

3. I have retained the statement that a humerus of Acrocanthosaurus, was found, but I cannot locate a source, which should be footnoted.Ecphora (talk) 20:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of a mislabled pubis and ischium assigned to Acrocanthosaurus; this was kept at the "Creation Evidence Museum" in the 1980s. the cite is Armstrong, John R. (1987). Creation/Evolution Newsletter 7 5:21. Firsfron of Ronchester 20:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I added the ref and adjusted the text a little. Ecphora (talk) 21:22, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've added a few more listed in The Dinosauria 2nd edition. Firsfron of Ronchester 22:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong link to Trinity group[edit]

The link used for "Trinity Group" (which is a geological formation) points to music group, not related. Someone should at least make a stub for these formation groups.

Sorry for the double post, I can't seem to figure out how to delete one of them. -- lstell — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lstellaus (talk • contribs) 03:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested merger[edit]

It has been proposed that this page, along with other articles on formations of the Trinity Group, be merged with the Trinity Group (geologic formation). As the formation pages currently contain more information than the group page, the best approach would be to add summaries of these into the Trinity Group article, while preserving these. I am therefore removing the merger tags - but please discuss if you disagree. Mikenorton (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
