===========================================================================
Dave Harper (Galway, Ireland) is putting together a short paper with Peter 
Vincent (Lancaster, UK) on bentonites contained within the Carboniferous of
western Ireland, mainly on the Aran islands and the Burren (Dinantian)
There are about ten paleokarst surface, each overlain by a  bentonite; 
Peter Vincent (Lancaster) has been looking at similar occurrences 
in the Pennines of northern England, and is now comparing his sections with 
those in the Burren.

The authors would like to know of any similar occurrences in eastern 
North America.  If anyone knows of any relevant literature for eastern 
Canada or can advise Dave of someone to contact, would they please either 
contact him directly (david.harper@ucg.ie) or send a message to me 
(williams@sparky2.esd.mun.ca).

Many thanks,

Henry Williams, Memorial University
