It would be interesting to see more information about the geology of Georges Bank. Kevink707 (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I remember, in searching through Dick Backus's _Georges Bank_, that 3% of the total iron present on Georges Bank was brought there yearly as a contaminant in fishing boat fuel, which might have important ramifications, as iron is both so rare and so valuable in aerobic waters, for example for cyanobacteria fixing nitrogen, etc. I have neither my notes or Backus's atlas with me now, I'm sorry to say. Would anyone care to check my memory on this one? Briancady413 (talk) 13:45, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
