 Should that be,
'Vikings-The North Atlantic Saga'?

Yep. My bad. 

 In the softcover edition of 2000, the treatment of the KRS
is on pages 381-384, just before the Summary of the
"Stumbles and Pitfalls in the Search for Viking America"
section.
 P. 379 in that edition has no mention of the KRS, and
there are only two columns per page.
 I see no mention of Wolter or Ojakangas in that edition.
 Could you please describe what you were pointing too?


I was reminding Steve Marcus of some less than robust evidence which
he has been quite ready to rely upon in the past.


As previously noted, you are wrong.  See below.

Evidence much less
robust than he is now demanding for the standard of Ojakangas's
personal communiction to Scott Wolter. Distinctly shonky in fact.


And here you are just lying.  Ojakangas ran tests and collected data.
He communicated them to Wolter.  *You* reported that the test data
appears in the Wolter/Nielsen book, and the authors' conclusions re
the data are given in the book.  It was pointed out to you by another
poster that it appears that less than all of the data appears in the
book.


No. In fact it started on 31 december with
Eric posting this:
 " Ojakangas plotted six different types of greywacke
   on his particular triangle diagram and almost
   certainly examined many more specimens he did
   not consider worth plotting. "

As far as I know that is the only 'evidence' that
Ojakangas tested more than was presented.
But the "_almost_ certainly" indicates that this
was/is Eric's assumption.

You replied that you didn't see anything wrong with that, and
were called on your position by another poster, as well as by me.  I
pointed out that your acceptance of that state of affairs displayed
your predisposition to accept anything that supported whatever you
wished to believe.  I noted that failure to report all test data
could not be defended.  Period.


But _did_ Ojakangas test more samples
then reported, and if not, are six samples
enough for the conclusion that "the rock
probably originated in the Paleoproterozoic
Animikie basin of east central Minnesota"?
