Comments on the geologic information

  • Most of the sand and gravel operations in SW Wyoming are in Quaternary units. According to the state geologic map (1:500,000-scale), this pit is in the Wasatch and Green River Formations (New Fork tongue of Wasatch and Fontenelle tongue or member of the Green River Fm (Twg). Satellite imagery confirms this interpretation.
