[edit]1. The fonts in the cross sections are a bit small without clicking on them. At least make the labels of Crashsite Group and Heritage Group slightly larger so that readers can briefly know the stratigraphy on first sight.
2. It may be useful to add a link to 'phyla'.
3. Explanations of (or adding links to) some geological terms may be needed. E.g. dextral, transpressive, strike-slip, coaxial and non-coaxial shear, strain...
Hope this will help. Thanks.Matt.chw (talk) 07:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

[edit]1- The first sentence seems long.
2 - The fonts in the figures are small, and you can use vacant space at the bottom of some figures to increase the legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhmnia11 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

[edit]- I think a lot more geological terms can be linked eg. quartzite, fluvial, lateral discontinuity, intrabasinal uplift, the various types of folds mentioned etc.
- Even as a geology student I found the Tectonic History a bit too technical to picture in my head, especially "Late Triassic Deformation Structure" and "Early Cretaceous Uplift in the Ellsworth Mountains of West Antarctica", perhaps show it in a drawing or explain/ remove some of the overly technical stuff (like 'post-axial-plane cleavage structure' and the 'track annealing temperature')
- You seem to have an extra 'deformation' in 'Early Permian-Triassic Deformation Deformation' and 'Main Permian-Triassic Deformation Deformation'
- Very detailed and well-developed page, I especially like your cross-section drawings.
