If a seamount with a top more than 200 m below the surface of the sea is a Guyot, and a seamount with a top that reaches the surface is an island, what do we call a seamount with a top that is between the two? I mean besides Besides "a good place for a Bond Villain to build his underwater base"... :) I am hoping that whatever the inbetween case is called we can add it to the See Also of this article or define it in the lead. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 18:23, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
The assertion that they were given the name 'Guyot' because they resemble the flat-topped Guyot Hall was introduced by this edit in 2007, but it is not backed up by any citation at present. William Avery ( talk) 12:43, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I have this information, that guyots were named after "Guyot Hall", (resulting in my edit "His data showed that some undersea mountains had flat tops. Hess called these undersea mountains "guyots," after the shape of Princeton University's Guyot Hall, itself named after the 19th-century geographer and Princeton professor Arnold Henry Guyot.") straight from the mouth of Princeton professors who taught with and obviously knew Harry Hess. I'll see if either of them will want to go on record and/or point to an authoritative reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fritsebits ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi again. Princeton is a small town... The professors in question are 82, 83 and 85 years old, and they were recruited by Harry Hess to serve on the faculty in the mid sixties, when Hess was Department Head. Each of them are alive and well, and I will be asking them if they are willing to specifically corroborate and go on record with this. -- /info/en/?search=User:Fritsebits 14 September 2020
