Talk:Geology of the Kimberley (Western Australia)

Some recommendations
1. Add a link to 'protolith' mentioned in Western Zone

2. More explanations on the word 'ensialic' may be needed, or just replace it with simpler terms.

3. It may be better to label the directions of the thrust faults in the post-hooper orogeny and halls creek orogney figures.

Hope this will help. Thanks. 183.179.56.47 (talk) 06:56, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Recommendations for improvement
1. The Western, Central and Eastern Zone should be under the Hooper and Lamboo Complexes part instead of having the same title size. It is also suggested that exchange the position of the ‘Zone’ and ‘Age’ columns because there is no ordering found in the ‘Age’ column but in the ‘Zone’ column.

2. For the ‘Orogeny’ column in the summary table, the orogeny event should be more specific, so readers can relate to the event elaborated in the next section ‘Tectonic Evolution. For example, Hooper Orogeny (1865 - 1850 Ma) should be changed into Early to Later Hooper Orogeny (1865 - 1850 Ma).

3. Would be great if some description of each major unit could be added. In the Tectonic Evolution part, in some years without orogeny happened, what has happened during the missing years such as 1845 - 1835 Ma. Is there deposition, erosion or any other things happened?

4. Referencing problem such as missing dates.

5. Grammar problems such as ‘diagram not drawn to scale.

Hope the above recommendations help! :)

Comments from Victor
Hi! I am Victor.

1. For the "economic geology" part, if you don't have time to finish it, just delete it.

2. For the illustration parts, I think you can add some images of the real geology in Kimberley if you can find some in wiki commons so that the audience can have better understanding.

3. For the "Late Hooper Orogeny" diagram, there are some orange intrusions. Can you label them? VictorSo1031 (talk) 14:47, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Recommendations from Mohammad
1. Names in the first figure are small

2. The location of the Lambao complex in the second image is a bit confusing

3. Is it possible to separate these two complex borders by dashed lines?

4. I think the Hooper and Lambao complexes part is a little hard to follow — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhmnia11 (talk • contribs) 11:51, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I am happy to see some more writing on Geology of Australia, as I have written some pages on this in earlier years.
 * Reference coverage is good, but there is no reference for "Regional Geology" intro paragraph.
 * Thanks for using cite templates, doi's and isbns as it make it easy to find and fix references.
 * Kimberley Craton; Speewah Basin and Kimberley Basin are on the map, in the Kimberleys and mentioned, but there is no further detail.
 * It would be good to have some general introduction to the area, like dimensions, area, topography, major towns and roads for access.
 * Is there any relationship to rocks found on other continents?
 * Some references are about zircon geochronology, but you don't mention the zircon data in your text. Is there anything interesting to say about this?

Comments from Gabriel
Maps, diagrams and cross-sections are big and it is easy to read. Very good. The page is detail.

I think there is few mistakes in the page. 1. For the table inside the section "Eastern Zone", I think the order has some problem. I think you can change the Age "1865-->1870-->1920Ma" Or switch the column "Zone and "Age"

2. I think it is better to add some legend to the cross-sections in the tectonic evolution part. I can see you use color to distingish different units or features. But I think you miss some of them.

Overall the page is real good. I enjoy reading your page. Gabriel HY Lam (talk) 16:02, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
