What is "Rock Chalk"
editIn the discussion of the origins of "Rock Chalk," the article states that "Rock Chalk" is "a transposition of chalk rock, a mineral that exists in western Kansas and similar to the coccolith found in the white cliffs of Dover." In fact, "chalk rock" is exactly what it says - a rock, not a mineral. And . . . while chalk rock is found in western Kansas, it and the white cliffs of Dover are not "coccolith." Instead, they are composed (at least in part) of the remains of millions of coccoliths which are the microscopic, planktonic calcareous algae.Ronmcdwv (talk) 13:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Rock, Chalk, KSU
editI realize that this isn't going to be a popular revision, but according to this article[1] which cites the news editor at KU, the original Rock Chalk chant referred to KU as the State university, i.e. KSU.--Flibbert (talk) 16:47, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's accurate and fine to make the change, the kuhistory.com article that is already reference also supports it. Ryan2845 (talk) 18:52, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Age of Oread Limestone
editWhile the Niobrara Chalk of western Kansas is indeed Cretaceous in age, the Oread Limestone (which occurs at the top of Mount Oread) is Pennsylvanian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrb1980 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
