Talk:Two Medicine Formation

Etymology

edit

What is the origin of that name? Sounds Native American to me, but why anyone would call some place "Two Medicine" is beyond my imagination and seems to have a nice lil story attached. Dysmorodrepanis 17:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's a formation, so how about something on the GEOLOGY?

edit

Lots of cutesy drawings of dinosaurs, but not enough on the geology. Adding a geologic cross section and/or geologic map would make this a much better article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.69.46 (talk) 05:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sp. "Aproximate paleocoordinates" in box

edit

This is one of two instances that I have found in WP. The phrase appears in the box "Aproximate paleocoordinates" (= APPROXIMATE ....) but there is no text in the edit that enables it to be changed. Can you direct this to someone that has the know how.66.74.176.59 (talk) 17:49, 26 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the "rock unit" infobox, there is a parameter "paleocoordinates," which controls the paleocoordinates in the infobox. Primefac (talk) 18:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
This is fine and dandy but you might as well be speaking Martian to me as I know absolutely nothing about that and do not know where to find it if I did.66.74.176.59 (talk) 18:54, 26 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you click on "edit" at the top of the page, at the top of the editing area that appears you will see a line that says "{{Infobox rockunit". That marks the start of the infobox, which appears at the top right hand corner of the article. Below that heading, you will see a number of entries for the particular entries in that box, starting with "| name = Two Medicine Formation", then "image = Two Medicine.jpg", and so on. Somewhere down the list you will see a line beginning "| paleocoordinates = ". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:03, 26 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
