Talk:Carbonate platform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To user:mente_et_malleo: the article is much improved with the last changes. I suggest, however, a couple of changes should be made before you add more material.

• The three modes of carbonate precipitation are not equally explained, making the chapter partially unclear. You may move the definition of biotically induced from sub-chapter mud-mound to carbonate sedimentation.

• The text in chapter depositional environment is now partly a repetition of what you have put in the introduction. You should drop the chapter, saving those part of text which bring valuable infos, and also saving references.

• It is clear that you have a structure of the article in mind which is not laid down completely yet. You should, first of all, write down all chapters you would like to fill. This would make the structure of the article clear to other readers.

Shallow lagoon of Florida Bay. Carbonate Mud, Mangroves

Dear everybody, here's a picture that may be useful. It illustrates the sediments of the present-day lagoon of Florida Bay - it can be clearly seen how most if not all of the sediment is actually carbonate mud (micrite). Move the picture to the article if you find it useful, and change the caption at your will. Aloha, --Kaapitone 17:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
