The intro can be improved by not using the word "algae" (whatever that means), and substituting "diatoms" (which is correct). That makes sense of the blooms, because diatoms need silica for their frustules. The word algae is hopelessly compromised, and serves only to confuse. "Algal bloom" is therefore misleading. Next, I would suggest stressing the two cycles of deposition, as in Meyer 2003 p32/33. It's a pity we can't use his illustrations! In general, the later sections seem accurate, and it is really only the intro which makes me wince a bit. 15:54, 16 September 2016 (UTC)Macdonald-ross (talk)
