Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Bonneville: A Scientific Update showcases new information and interpretations about this important lake in the North American Great Basin, presenting a relatively complete summary of the evolving scientific ideas about the Pleistocene lake. A comprehensive book on Lake Bonneville has not been published since the masterpiece of G.K. Gilbert in 1890. Because of Gilbert’s work, Lake Bonneville has been the starting point for many studies of Quaternary paleolakes in many places throughout the world. Numerous journal articles, and a few books on specialized topics related to Lake Bonneville, have been published since the late 1800s, but here the editors compile the important data and perspectives of the early 21st century into a book that will be an essential reference for future generations. Scientific research on Lake Bonneville is vibrant today and will continue into the future. Makes the widespread and detailed literature on this well-known Pleistocene body of water accessible Gives expositions of the many famous and iconic landforms and deposits Contains over 300 illustrations, most in full color Contains chapters on many important topics, including stratigraphy, sedimentology, hydrology, geomorphology, geochronology, isostasy, geophysics, geochemistry, vegetation history, pollen, fishes, mammals, mountain glaciation, prehistoric humans, paleoclimate, remote sensing, and geoantiquities in the Bonneville basin

Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...new lake was almost as fresh as the streams. It had the property of throwing down suspended clay with great rapidity, so that the greater part of the mud brought to it by the streams was deposited near the shore, and chemical and organic precipitates acquired relative importance in the center of the basin. It is proper to add that the process of burial by desiccation, here invoked to account for the disappearance of saline matter, is not hypothetic, WATER FRESHENED BY DESICCATION. 209 except as regards the particular application. It has been fully demonstrated, especially by the investigations of Russell,1 that it is an actual process, all stages of which are exhibited in the modern history of the small basins of Utah and Nevada. Not only are soluble salts found mingled with the earths of the playas in all proportions, but crystalline layers have been discovered beneath earthy playa deposits; and there are numerous modern lakes of feeble salinity occupying closed basins whose upper slopes are covered by saliferous lacustrine deposits of earlier origin, and whose salts have never been discharged by means of a lake outlet. It is an essential part of the hypothesis that the lake was evaporated to dryness after the deposition of the Yellow ('lay; and the establishment of the hypothesis would demonstrate an element of the curve of oscillation for which there is no other evidence. ORGANIC REMAINS. The fossil remains yielded most abundantly by the Bonneville beds are tests of fresh-water univalve mollusks. These are found at all horizons in the lacustrine deposits, and are likewise imbedded in the tufa. They are best preserved in the White Marl, and are especially abundant at the base and the summit of that member. The specimens preserved in the...

Book excerpt: The work reported here is part of an extended study of paleoenvironmental change and human adaptation in the deserts of western Utah. This research, involving both archaeological excavations and the recovery of strictly paleoecological materials, is loosely grouped under the rubric of “The Silver Island Expedition,” since much of the work has been conducted in the vicinity of the Silver Island Mountains along the western margin of the Great Salt Lake Desert.
