Sedimentology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose to review this article because it had something to do with the course I am taking at University. It matters because Sediments are an important part of the earth and impact both seismic activity and volcanoes. My preliminary impression was that it was a well written overview of the subject.

Lead section

Intro section does a good job of describing the article to come. It does not really give intros into the sections to come besides the outline with links. The third paragraph could be placed elsewhere and replaced with a brief synopsis of things to come.

Content.

Article is up to date except the recent development section mentions something that occurred in 2007. This development is also the only one mentioned. While the plurality of "recent developments" can be understood to mean the multiple developments surrounding mudstones, I think the section would be strengthened with other recent developments unrelated to the mudstones and perhaps a bit more recent.

Tone and Balance.

Articles tone is very good and the information is well balanced into different manageable sections.

Sources

Spot checked some sources and they are all reputable and well utilized.

Overall impressions.

Its a good synopsis page for sedimentology. Could use some reorganizing of the intro and some additions to recent developments.
