Dan O'Connor who would become prominent in areal mining and prospecting. Does areal mining mean mining an area? Or is it a typo of aerial (except that aerial mining usually means dropping naval mines from aircraft)? Maybe there's a better word for it? – Reidgreg (talk) 15:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Volcanoguy: Looks good; I added two commas and a hyphen. The only problem I see is this sentence: Ultramaficlithologies required to generate high-pH fluids are not present, suggesting that chert and iron oxide deposition was unlikely controlled by pH fluctuations caused by mixing of alkaline hydrothermal fluids with seawater. It could prove a bit tough for some readers. The adjective unlikely doesn't work well with the verb controlled. You could put "to have been" between these words but it might be better to rephrase, though I don't want to change the intended meaning. (Was it controlled but controlled in an unlikely manner, or are there scientific doubts of a regulating relationship?) Also, could the last part of the sentence be simplified as: "by the pH fluctuations of alkaline hydrothermal fluids mixing with seawater." – Reidgreg (talk) 01:43, 3 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
