replies: text: I'm planning on uploading additional bedrock and surficial maps from the Minnesota Geological Survey, including those of sections of the state, which would be good but might exacerbate this problem, unless we decide on which maps to use. In any case, I'd suggest creating an "additional maps" section at the bottom, if necessary. Awickert (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We could move them into a gallery, which would provide thumbnails readers could click on to get larger versions.  Kablammo (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a good idea to me! Awickert (talk) 22:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I could add a bedrock and/or surficial map of this area. Awickert (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: When I did the bedrock map I did not attempt to show the older formations exposed by the dissection of the Paleozoic plateau.  The MnGS map now shows them, so I won't worry about revising the bedrock map I had added.  I think a topographic image of the area, to show the degree of dissection, is sufficient for the SE regional section, but in a clearer format than the present .gif.  Kablammo (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the topo map as well, and can't find any SE-specific map at the survey. Sounds good. Awickert (talk) 22:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have found and uploaded the bedrock map, here: . Is it better than the topo? I think one should be in the article and one in the gallery - which one should be in the article? Awickert (talk) 05:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  To be done 

message: Should this page or the sections therein contain directories to the related articles? For example, should there be links to the units that constitute the Cambrian-Ordovician sedimentary sequence in that section, or to the various rock formations on the North Shore in that section? Awickert (talk) 08:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know.  I've always assumed there eventually be separate articles on features such as the Duluth Complex (already extant), Rove Formation, Saganaga Batholith, Giants Ridge batholith, etc., all linked from here. It may be that eventually there will be sub-articles for regions; certainly Northeast Minnesota would merit that. Maybe add text and links here in the appropriate places, and if the sections get too large they can be split off.  (After all, that's how this article came to be, as an offshoot of Minnesota.)  Kablammo (talk) 11:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: All right. I've tried to start articles on the sedimentary sequence, but so far, I've been just making stubs. So maybe I'll start linking those, at least, and any others I can find, as soon as they're expanded beyond being stubs. Awickert (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the main issue with the article now is the brevity of the history section.  I assume (hope?) that you will put your knowledge to work there, and your new articles on sedimentary formations can be linked there (in connection with descriptions of their formation) or in the regional sections, or both.

===Earthquakes and Earth tremors===
Article from the Little Falls Daily Transcript, September 4, 1917.  Reports of the damage were exaggerated, but the exceitement was geniune.

Minnesota Earthquake History
http://www.morris.umn.edu/earthquakes/history.html
Minnesota experiences tremors to this day all the way from International Falls to the renowned Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.  Sometimes excessive drilling and mining shift stratum of rock and sediment as the planet resettles tremors and earthquakes still occur in the State of Minnesota. Several theories regarding the connection between the existence of the "dust bowl" of earlier states in correlation with the earthquakes of the Minnesota region have evolved.  
The last recorded earthquake in in Minnesota which had a magnitude of 3.1 was on February 09, 1994 at 08:45:35 UTC at a depth of 5 kilometers according to the USGS NEIC.  http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/last_event_states/states_minnesota.html
Seismic events are recorded on a daily basis at all types of depths and are reported by the ANSS and other sources.
