Probabilistic source-to-sink analysis of the provenance of the California paleoriver: implications for the early Eocene paleogeography of western North America
The Latest Paleocene to Early Eocene Colton and Wasatch Formations exposed in the Roan Cliffs on the southern margin of the Uinta Basin, UT make up a genetically related lobate wedge of dominantly fluvial deposits. Estimates of the size of the river that deposited this wedge of sediment vary by …
