Per this thread, since both Basement rock and Basement (geology) cover the same subject, with "Basement (geology)" being the more desirable name, I'm proposing that this article (basement rock) be merged with Basement (geology). —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Parting Glass ( talk • contribs) 15:41, 7 February 2009
Made basement rock a redirect here. Didn't see much in that rambling essay to merge. I've requested refs for several statements in this article - seems the emphasis on the Variscan is a bit overdone ... basement in midwest US is typically Precambrian ... so that needs rewriting.

Others would disagree. The basement rock article provided a reasonable amount of information and also provided the reader with some examples of the concept. It is a very well written article. So it explains the idea very well. As well, it was the first article. It was not my fault that someone else created a duplicate article. I did my research before i jumped the gun. It is better to use the original article as the base. At least the information not found in Basement (geology) will be added from Basement geology . Millueradfa ( talk) 21:26, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
This article is also full of uncited data, it is not of higher quality than the basement rock article. As I said before, a citationed version of basement rock should form the base of basement (geology). I see nothing in basement (geology) that indicates it is superior.

"In geology, basement and crystalline basement are the rocks below a sedimentary platform or cover, or more generally any rock below sedimentary rocks or sedimentary basins that are metamorphic or igneous in origin." From my understanding, basement also refers to the rocks upon which a volcano was constructed whether they are sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic. Volcano guy 20:45, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
