Review of the Los Angeles Basin Additions
Hi Ashley, the additions that you have made to the Los Angeles basin have added much substance to the previous version that was already in place. Your geochronology, basin blocks, basin stratigraphy, and tectonic history sections were sorely needed for the geologists out there wanting more information about the geo-timescale events such as subsidence, sedimentation, and rifting history. The basin features section is also a good addition, however I would suggest including more about earthquake history, magnitudes, and future potential given that this is such a seismically active area. Very good statistics on petroleum as well - How will this be added to the existing petroleum section? Will it be a replacement or a supplement? A couple of other suggestions about the existing page would be to address why iodine is prevalent in the basin and to put subsidence rates into the proper context by comparing geologic subsidence with that due to ground water and petroleum extraction. A couple of last suggestions would be to add more links to the geologic terms used in the article and possibly add a faulting map if you can find a good one that is publically available. Overall, great job - I can tell that you put good time and effort into it. Mitch
