Dear All,
Please can someone clarify whether there is a standard
spelling of pseudotachylyte/pseudotachylite?
Philpotts (1964), Maddock (1983, 1986), Maddock et al.
(1987), Spray (1987), Teschmer, et al. (1992) and others
used pseudotachylYte,
but I have also seen pseudotachylIte used, and Geologische
Rundschau seem to be insisting on this.
I like pseudotachylYte, even though it is a bit
old-fashioned, and I think the change to psedotachylIte is
part-and-parcel of spelling reforms which include
palaeontology to paleontology, etc.
Any thoughts?
cheers, Stephen White
