What exactly is green iron oxide?

I have bent the reference rules a bit with my edits today. I found enough references that the "blue" streaks are more like greenish-gray; these same references attributed the colour to a modification of the red iron oxide caused by ground water. The problem that I had was that no form of iron oxide comes in a green hue. However, iron (II) hydroxide can be green. Furthermore, several pottery web sites' forums show that many people have no idea what green iron oxide is, but if you Google it, there are several sites that sell it as a glazing colourant. All these people should be calling it iron hydroxide rather than iron oxide. Even my reference uses the wrong name. So that's why I have taken some license in claiming that the greenish streaks are iron hydroxide.

Changes to the Page

Hello Everyone,

As part of an assignment for a graduate-level course, I have made some substantial updates to this page. I have added and changed sections with the aim of providing a general overview of the Cheltenham Badlands site, the geological history of the badlands and some more details on the Queenston Formation at this site, the past and current land use at the site that led to its formation, the geomorphological features of the site, the conservation efforts at the site (including past ownership). In order to compliment these changes, I have added citations from academic journals as well as reports from the Ontario Geological survey and Bruce Trail Conservancy.

Thank you. RaeK8277 (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Ordivician is far older than 6000 to 7000 years!

Based on the numbers used I suspect this edit was intentional. I will let someone else do the research and fix but late Ordivician was at least 445 million years ago. 210.208.106.157 (talk) 22:45, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
