[edit] AMK152's Geotimeboxes
AMK152 proposed in edits of 27 December 2006 a geotimebox for this article. I feel that the box information that is appropriate for the article is already in the footer, and that other information can be supplied where important, by links from the text. See discussion at Template talk:Geotimebox. --Bejnar 20:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paleogene symbol
What is the abbreviation for Paleogene--is it Pg ?
- For technical usage, the US Geological Survey and others use a capital P with a small capital G attached to it as shown in this PDF - [1]. Without special fonts you can't do it, so Pg probably will serve. However, I have also seen it as PE. Just explain whatever you use at first usage, and then be consistent and non-conflicting with other symbols such as P for Permian, double-barred P for Pennsylvanian....

[edit] Geology and oil industry
It turns out that the Paleogene is of specific relevance in the oil industry, where it's got a lot of discussion and a high profile.
I started to create an article Lower Tertiary,but Paleogene is the identical period. So I've added a section on Geology of the Paleogene, which should have considerable information to add by someone knowledgeable, mainly as a place to add the oil industry related knowledge of the geology of that period.
I'm fairly sure it belongs in this article and hopefully others will expand the article to cover other aspects of the Paleogene.....

- Not sure what's happened here, maybe a change to a template? Don't know if it's just Firefox. Mikenorton (talk) 11:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative spelling
Palæogene is offered up as an alternative but the commonly encountered British English spelling is Palaeogene - I don't recall coming across Palæogene. cheers Geopersona (talk) 06:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
