Adjusting table

I find the table useful as the preponderance of orogenies can, for a host of reasons, be quite confusing. I'm tempted to remove the word 'orogeny' from all of the items in column 1 as being redundant, and to alter the timings in columns 2 and 3 to Ma rather than Ga as that will be more readily meaningful to most readers. I'd note that I came looking for the late Precambrian Avalonian Orogeny but didn't find it, nor the Shelveian orogeny. Geopersona (talk) 07:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that the Mediterranean Ridge belongs here - is that not simply a feature being formed as part of the ongoing Alpine orogeny? And East Greenland Orogen, currently featured as part of, (but commencing well before) the Caledonian orogeny? Geopersona (talk) 07:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
