| | MS Thesis |
| | If the depositional rate of Green River Formation rocks was fairly constant or varied systematically with lithology, and if variations in orbital parameters had a strong or significant influence on sedimentation through intermediate effects on Earth's climate, the orbital frequencies should be apparent in power spectra computed from sedimentary sections. | | | The Green River Formation is one of the more thoroughly studied formations in the world due to the tremendous hydrocarbon reserves contained in the kerogenous Parachute Creek Member. | | | Cyclicity in the Green River Formation was initially postulated by G. Gilbert (Gilbert, 1895), who also initially proposed an astronomical cause for certain cyclic sequences in the Cretaceous of Colorado, and commented on the cyclic nature of Green River Formation rocks. |

| | Fish preservation, fish coprolites and the Green River Formation |
| | In the Green River Formation ‘evaporites are succeeded by laminates bearing fresh water fish fossils but barren of autochthonous benthic [natural bottom] fossils&;. | | | Instead of slow-and-gradual, uniformitarian processes, the Green River Formation was deposited rapidly in a series of catastrophic events. | | | The often-noted violation of Walther’s Law concerning the stratigraphy of the Green River Formation, in addition to the variation in thickness and number of the layers between time-synchronous volcanic-eruption related layers, leads to a view of a rapidly deposited and plastically slumping mass of sediment creating the Green River Formation. |

| | Green River Fossils - Fish, Flies and Striders |
| | The Bibionid Fly (Plecia pealei) is the most common insect found in the sedimentary layers (some up to 2,000 feet deep) of the Green River Formation.They were a March fly from the Eocene period of about 50-60 million years ago (the time of the dinosaurs) and come from an oil shale layer within the formation. | | | It is the most common of the fish species found in the sedimentary layers (some up to 2,000 feet deep) of the Green River Formation that were deposited in the Green River Lake System of western Wyoming, eastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. | | | The fossil fish shown below are from the Eocene Period of the Green River Formation located in Southwestern Wyoming. |

| | Lithofacies within the Green River Formation of Fossil Basin, Wyoming can be traced from basin center to margin in as short a distance as 10 kilometers. | | | A number of heavily collected fossil localities within the late early Eocene Fossil Butte Member of the Green River Formation have produced an unprecedented volume of paleontological data for studies of Cenozoic aquatic communities of North America. | | | In addition to major paleofaunal differences between the mid-lake F-1 and near-shore F-2 deposits of Fossil Lake, there are also major fish faunal differences between the Fossil Lake deposits (Fossil Butte Member, Green River Formation) and the Lake Gosiute deposits to the east (Laney Member, Green River Formation). |

| | For example, as far as I know, the laminae of the Green River Formation do not include cross-bedding, antidunes or other features that are present in Bouma sequences and some pyroclastic deposits. | | | That is, the bottom waters of lakes may not experience frequent seasonal mixing and aeration, especially in depositional environments like those of the Green River Formation, where the bottom waters were probably saltier and, therefore more dense, than the surface waters (Drever, 1997, p. | | | Petrographic, statistical and geophysical methods have detected the cycles and some of them have been seen over and over and over again in the Green River Formation for the past 70 years. |

| | However, he does not appear to be referring to anything like the traumatic situation experienced by the fish in the Green River Formation, as evidenced by the extreme contraction of the muscles (tetany) evidenced in their fossilized specimens. | | | The evidence suggests that the fossil fish of the Green River Formation were buried quickly in an unconsolidated, highly-fluid sediment which was rapidly deposited over a vast area of low relief. | | | Note that creationists objected early to the identification of the Green River Formation laminae with known glacial varves based on the physical characteristics and composition of the laminae. |
