Ooze definition not supported by citation

Hi,

The third sentence in the article states that "Oozes are defined as sediments which contain at least 30% skeletal remains of pelagic microorganisms", but the original paper does not mention this information at all. Upon a quick Google search, this 30% stat seems to come from the Britannica definition of ooze. I probably won't have the time to track down what Britannica's source was, so if someone else can verify the 30% stat, please update the citation! Otherwise, it might be better to remove that statement or cite Britannica, since it seems to be the true source. Myonke2 (talk) 05:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
