The Geological History of Fossil Butte National Monument and Fossil Basin

Fifty million years ago the southwestern corner of what is now Wyoming was part of a system of three freshwater lakes that covered that area plus adjacent parts of Colorado and Utah. These lakes began with Lake Flagstaff and later became Lake Gosiute, Lake Uinta, and Fossil Lake (Fig. 1). These lakes developed in intermontane basins that were created as a result of the geologic events that formed the Rocky Mountains. The three lakes, collectively known as the Green River Lake System, had a long, complex history of expansion and contraction. Varying climatic and geologic conditions were responsible for the changes in lake size and distribution. The shores surrounding the lakes were blanketed by a lush, green canopy of palm, cinnamon, maple, oak, and other familiar trees. Hazel and lilac covered the forest floor. Rushes and other aquatic plants lined the lake shore. The air was humid and warm. Streams flowing down from the hills and mountains built up flood plains and fed sediment into the lake, where it was deposited in shallow water near the shore. Deposits formed by chemical processes settled to the bottom further from shore in deep, quiet water. From these processes were formed the rocks from which the past history of Green River Lake System is read. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
