concretions of magnesia / magnesian concretions from New Caledonia Explanation: Two options: 1. concretions of magnesia from New Caledonia 2. magnesian concretions from New Caledonia -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2010-06-03 15:29:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Susan - not many refs out there, I agree. Here goes: 1. concretions of magnesia = 4 Google results. 2. magnesian concretions = 8 Google results. Sorry that I could be of no more help. Good luck with the rest of your translation. Chris. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2010-06-03 15:48:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Susan - I believe that there are not very many results for this term ("concrétions de magnésie"), because it is a highly specialised and slightly uncommon term. |
