Stratigraphy (Sunnyside and Cottonwood-Jack Canyon tar sand deposits) | 1984-05-10 | stratigraphy; tar sand deposits; supplement report | During the earliest 40% of Tertiary time, from about 65 to 40 million years ago, much of the Uinta Basin of northeast Utah was occupied by a large lake termed Lake Uinta. For most of its existence, this lake was a shallow body of fresh or slightly brackish water. Its remarkable, 15 million-year hist... |
