Albion white Explanation: Total guesswork (i.e. making it up as I go along). The name Albion has been translated as “white land”; and the Romans explained it as referring to the chalk cliffs at Dover (Latin albus, “white”). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2015-01-22 12:43:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With "Albian" as a variant. Google "albian white" and you should find stuff like this: "...seismic data with top Albian (white) and top salt..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2015-01-22 12:44:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Apparently "Albian" means "mid-cretaceous"which doesn't sound quite so market-friendly... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2015-01-22 12:45:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.houzz.com/photos/8612879/Albion-White-Drum-Shade-... |
