Subaerial oceanic crust on Iceland edit
Isn't the entire island of Iceland subaerial oceanic crust as well? In addition to the Red Sea rift?--Bmonne 07:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's very unusual oceanic crust, there's also a suggestion that there is a fragment of continental crust under there as well. Having said that, I think that the 'Lithospheric stretching' section could do with a rewrite. I'll try to find time to have a look at this. Mikenorton (talk) 19:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Can Basins be man-made because we have a biocontrol basin that takes out sediment near our house and I can put a picture in. Talvinlee (talk) 05:03, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Merge into Structural basin? edit
Should be considered, as the topics overlap, and this article needs work anyway. Thoughts? --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:03, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Substantial rewriting and significant expansion of this page edit
It's obvious from the page history but I thought I would specifically post here to let the community know that I have undertaken extensive rewriting and substantial expansion of this page. I did my PhD at Stanford specifically in the area of sedimentary basin analysis. I left the field of geology in the 90's but I feel the intervening years have given me a unique perspective to try to express the science through a layman's terminology. I've been referencing a few textbooks as I did this work and searching for current and recent scientific references that seem the best ones to cite. RockDr (talk) 17:15, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
It's starting to feel pretty complete. Open to comments here on the talk page as to what gaps or additional topics would be good to address and/or whether more references are appropriate, etc.
The one piece I feel is missing is some sort of regional or global maps of all sedimentary basins, but I can't find public domain ones and tools for making a public domain digital map aren't obvious to me.RockDr (talk) 17:12, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
