Proposed merge from Princeton Chert

Subtopic of the Allenby formation, with much shared/same information— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevmin ( talk • contribs) 21:15, 23 February 2013 (UTC) reply

I disagree with the idea of merging the Princeton Chert article with the Allenby Formation article. The Princeton Chert is a significant Eocene fossil site, and the article highlights this point. It is therefore more a paleontology article than an article about a rock formation. Eocene guy ( talk) 22:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC) reply

over 5x expansion from 419 to 7196 bytes; all sources appear reliable (based on Google searches); every paragraph, quote, and list entry is cited; article neutral; no copyvio detected (AGF on paywalled sources). Hooks are cited, not long, and interesting; ALT0 is good to go, but ALT1 (and the sentence in the article) needs clarification on what "compared" entails (are they similar? In which aspects?). QPQ done. eviolite (talk) 23:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC) reply
