** Neighboring formations, seasonal marsh
* History section
** Paper on Mori Point includes references to pre-recorded history in area: https://www.nps.gov/goga/learn/historyculture/upload/San-Mateo-HRS-Part-IV-Mori-Point.pdf
** 1200 Ohlone settlement Ompuromo

** 2000 assessment to mitigate future damages
It may also be worth converting the infobox to Template:Infobox rockunit instead of the current Island infobox template may only be accurate in a very technical sense. Or maybe some kind of region or city template? Please let me know if you are aware of what infobox is appropriate for the sometimes-populated area surrounding a geological formation.

thread_title:  Additional TODOs: History, geology, infobox 

message: Currently the wiki page does not address that Mussel Rock Park is atop a now-defunct landfill, and that due to being in an active landslide and a subduction zone, the landfill has actively leaked garbage for several decades into the sea and the beach. Further, the continued erosion of the sea bluffs and the potential for earthquakes puts the landfill at high risk for a catastrophic breach, emptying an estimated 1 million cubic yards of waste into the ocean.
I'm planning to continue expanding this article today and over the next few days. There's several interesting geological and ecological papers concerning this particular landfill, as well as USGS, state, and city survey data that I'm hoping to cite.
Of course, if anyone around is motivated to make additions, please do! :)

thread_title:  TODO: Ecological importance, Landfill 

message: For some reason, this page got moved to Mussel Rock (stack) and a new stub article was created in its place. That page move was unnecessary -- a parenthetical disambiguation is only needed when there are two or more articles with the same main name, referring to different things. That is not the case here. There is no need for disambiguation or a redirect. Please do not move pages without discussion and consensus on the talk page. Thanks, --MCB 19:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
