Moved Beacon sandstone to Beacon Supergroup and made "Beacon sandstone" a redirect. If a person looks at any recent literature about this stratigraphic unit, they will find that the "Beacon sandstone" is antiquated and obsolete terminology for this unit. "Beacon Supergroup" is the accepted nomenclature for this unit by Earth scientists in general. For the details and documentation, go see:

Faure, G., and T. M. Mensing, 2011, The Transantarctic Mountains: Rocks, Ice, Meteorites and Water. Springer, New York, New York. ISBN 978-1-4020-8406-5.

There are additional comments about work, which is needed to be done on this article in Talk:Beacon sandstone. Paul H. (talk) 01:10, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
