Hey Mitch!
Here's some suggestions I have after reading through your page — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuskoWiki (talk • contribs) 14:59, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
1) Include an image (Areal) or figure so the reader can visualize the descriptions of the Pearl River Mouth Basin. 2) Buff up physical and tectonic description of the basin. 3) Many Questions left unanswered. Is the extension in the basin still active? A what rate was it spreading? Where is the spreading axis? Why do some people support the Rotation of Indochina model vs the Subduction under Borneo model? What direction is the basin extending? What is the thickness of the lithosphere under the basin? What is the rate of sedimentation? 4) Has any seismic work been done on this basin? 5) Maybe talk about the history of the analysis of the basin? 6) The theories for potential models for extension should be in their own section separate from the tectonic setting. The tectonic setting should include geographical information and brief geologic history of the basin/south china sea. 7) Go into more detail about how/why the basin sedimentation transitioned from fluvial and lucustrine to a marine depositional environment. 8) I would recommend hunting for additional references to cite for the page.
