Subaerial oceanic crust on Iceland

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Merge into Structural basin?

Should be considered, as the topics overlap, and this article needs work anyway. Thoughts? --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:03, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial rewriting and significant expansion of this page

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.

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)[reply]
