Mineralogy of the Green River Formation, Wyoming: Mining Old Data in the Light of New Models

摘要

1. Lake Uinta and Lake Gosiute were different lakes, but underwent similar geochemical evolution 2. Redox conditions favorable to organic preservation occurred early in lake history 3. Salinity was elevated in both lakes well before deposition of saline minerals 4. If one insists on the Bohacs model, when did underfilled conditions begin? 4.1 At first appearance of saline minerals? 4.2 At first appearance of sodic diagenetic minerals? 4.3 Have these been looked for in other lacustrine sections?
