Please see the GA review for the article North Sea and how to improve this article on the North Sea Geological History....
(From this discussion) For North Sea I recomment using Atlas of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Coastlines - pages 27-38 are maps that show the shape of N Sea 95 million years ago to 20 million years ago. This focuses on coastlines, i.e. gives info abut the N Sea as a sea. After reading the others in more detail I found that the others focus more on the movement of continental plates, which include the present-day continental shelves, but they say nothing about whether the shelf areas were covered by sea at the time. That restricts North Sea's paleographical coverage to mid-Cretaceous onwards, but: it still gives some info; trying to go back further gets into really heavy geology; going back further also raises problems of definition, i.e. whether a body of water in the same place relative to bits of modern Europe could be called "North Sea" when its coastline and connections to other bodies of seawater were very different (the consensus is "no"). -- Philcha ( talk) 10:18, 14 November 2008 (UTC) (From above discussion)

A conversation has been entered into at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geology#North_Sea Wikiproject Geology North Sea about the naming. Should it be renamed Geology of the North Sea? SriMesh | talk 20:34, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Should this article be added to the Template talk:Geology of Europe? SriMesh | talk 20:34, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR ( talk) 02:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
This article is more similar to Geology of articles rather than the current title which was a section of the article the North Sea. There has also been discussion about this name sake move at the talk page of the North Sea during its GA review. SriMesh | talk 03:11, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
