Pampean flat-slab

A few things. It's long enough and new enough. But the hook is problematic: the Stern source does not verify "unusually"--at best it has something dipping "less steeply"; that word sounds like OR to me. The volcano-free gap should be verified by the Ramos article, but I do not have access to that journal. In addition, the article needs (more) copyedits, and what it really needs is an expert, both for the hook and for the content of the article, so I'll try to ping someone. LadyofShalott, do you know anyone who does volcanoes? Drmies (talk) 16:04, 6 July 2019 (UTC)- Mamayuco, if you take out "unusually", the hook is acceptable (I asked Jo-Jo Eumerus).
