Hi everyone! My name is Paige and I am an assigned student editor for this page. After reading over the article, I think it would benefit from more sources that are peer-reviewed in order to present content that is put forth by scientific journals. I plan on highlighting the biogeochemical process of oolitic aragonite sand formation and intend to include more commercial uses, engineering applications, and locations. I have listed some sources below, let me know what you think or if you have any sources (preferably recent) you would like to contribute!
