Category
editI removed category "Sedimentary rocks" because breccia can be whatever type of rock, not only sedimentary. Siim 20:28, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
And I pretty much added the rest of the explanations as to how and why this is the case.Rolinator 07:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Trivia
editHmmm... why was my trivia addition removed? It seemed valid to me. Perhaps I should have had it as "Cultural Reference" or something? Wilybadger 03:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Simple - it was irrelevant to the subject in addition to being non-notable. Vsmith 11:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I dunno. I'd think it being used in an extremely popular series of books (international best-sellers, the lot of them), would make it an ok reference. It might be a trivial reference but, well, that's why I had it listed as "Trivia". Wilybadger 04:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Type
editThe article currently says
- "Sedimentary breccias can be described as 'arenaceous', from the Latin word harena meaning 'sand', which are sandy or pebbly in nature."
.. and then
- "breccias .. are composed of fragments averaging greater than 2 millimeters in size."
But surely an arenaceous rock by definition has particles less than 2mm in size. Coarser stuff should be called rudaceous. Pterre (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
