I took the incorrect information out of the title of this location, yet someone put the incorrect information back in.


(Unnamed crossite-lawsonite occurrence; Malaga Cove; Palos Verdes Estates)


All of the information in this bracket is incorrect. Miles away from Malaga Cove, not in Palos Verdes Estates, not ever referred to as the "Unnamed Crossite-Lawsonite deposit".


I know, Los Angeles County locations can be confusing due to the urban environment and the lack of people dedicating time to documenting these locations, plus we are a secretive bunch.


However, I REALLY dislike mis-information about locations, so please, murder the brackets.

Justin,


I added those data back in in brackets since that is the manner in which the locality was presented in the references. Note also that there are quotation marks bracketing the words, indicating that it is not correct. I will add a note in the locality description block to clarify it. By totally changing the locality name it may cause confusion by users and may cause it to be added back in as a separate, duplicated file.

You are the man, Chet. Thanks for your tireless work!


(I still don't like incorrect info to be listed though, but that's the breaks.)
