Despite being a biology student and having studied some geology in undergrad, I don't understand this article, so I doubt that it is accessible to the general public. Could someone explain this in non-technical terms to make it more accessible? Thanks, Iron C hris | (talk) 22:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
A name change from "Geologic joint" to "Joint (geology)" would be in keeping with general wikipedia naming conventions. See my similar comment at Talk:Geologic fault. If nobody complains I'll do this soon (with appropriate redirections). -- Zamphuor 15:26, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I've had a go at expanding this article. There's clearly a lot more to do, particularly it needs something on occurrence and all the sections need expanding further. I'll try to find time to do some more here soon. Mikenorton ( talk) 17:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I would like to know if the Tessellated Pavement are columnar joints formed by directional cooling of basalt like the Giant Causeway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Veronique.lazarus ( talk • contribs) 15:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
The article currently has four examples of columnar cooling joints (I just removed a fifth) and only one of tectonic joints in sedimentary rocks. Cooling joints are relatively uncommon and are only found in lavas and high-level intrusions, whereas tectonic joints are found in all rock types (including lavas and intrusions). Does anyone have any good pictures of joints (other than columnar)? I think that it would be particularly good to see examples looking parallel to bedding/layering and any with 'plume' markings or similar on their surfaces would be great. The next time I get out into the field, I'll collect some more photos, but that could take a while, as I've no fieldwork currently planned. Mikenorton ( talk) 16:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
