Merger with blockfield
[edit]Fully support. Whittow's Dictionary of Physical Geography (1984) states under the entry for "blockfield": "The German term felsenmeer (lit. 'rock-sea') is a frequently used synonym." Kearney's Dictionary of Geology (2001) has the entry "blockfield (blockmeer, felsenmeer, stonefield)". All these terms are used in English publications. "Blockfield" is Kearney's main entry and should probably be the title (also for clarity) with the others as redirects and bold names in the lede. --Bermicourt (talk) 13:50, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Support. As the creator of the felsenmeer article, I was not aware that there was another, synonymous term in English. These two articles are clearly describing the same thing, and have much of the same content. It might be a good idea, though, to find out which term is more common in English scientific literature before we decide which to keep as the title after the merge.

Merge done. SilkTork ✔Tea time 16:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
If we speak about a blockfield of periglacial origin, it may be connected with article stone run, but if we speak about bockfields of every possible origin it's a felsenmeer.--ARAGONESE35 (talk) 10:36, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
