Deposit	SEARLESITE OCCURS AS THIN BEDS (?) IN LAMINATED PELITES, MARLS, AND TUFFACEOUS MATERIAL (KEROGEN ALSO OCCURS IN BASIN SEQUENCE) IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANALCIME AND K-FELDSPAR. COMPLEX LACUSTRINE ENVIRONMENTS - TECTONICALLY ACTIVE LAKE BASINS WITH ASSOCIATED VOLCANISM AND CHANGING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS PRODUCED LAKES THAT CHANGED FROM FRESHWATER TO SALINE TO FRESHWATER; THERMAL WATERS ALSO INPUT INTO MIOCENE LAKES.
