Others come to take a trip back in time on the tracks of railroaders’ past. But no one expects to find such a culturally diverse melting pot in this high-desert oasis. Surprised? You haven’t seen anything yet. ABOUT ROCK SPRINGS Named for a former spring that babbled through town, Rock Springs actually sprung from the growth and development of the area’s coal mining industry. In 1868, the coal mined here powered the steam engines of the Union Pacific Railroad. The company laid hundreds of miles of track, which helped surrounding towns thrive. And the booming railroad and mining work left behind a culturally rich community that’s represented by dozens of nationalities. The railroad’s conversion to diesel and oil power in the mid-1900s drove out many of the city’s coal mines. But today, Rock Springs thrives with trona mines and a booming oil and gas industry, keeping the city vibrant with locals and visitors alike. // 08 ROCK SPRINGS SPRINGS ROCK DOWNTOWN ROCK SPRINGS Great American Main Street Award Winner, 2018 Downtown Rock Springs is a bustling town rich with history, culture and opportunities for recreation.

    Wilkins Peak Member, Eocene Green River Formation, Wyoming, U.S.A

    Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2006, v. 76, 1197–1214 Research Article DOI: 10.2110/jsr.2006.096 HIGH-RESOLUTION STRATIGRAPHY OF AN UNDERFILLED LAKE BASIN: WILKINS PEAK MEMBER, EOCENE GREEN RIVER FORMATION, WYOMING, U.S.A. JEFFREY T. PIETRAS* AND ALAN R. CARROLL 1University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Geology and Geophysics, 1215 West Dayton Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, U.S.A. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Lakes tend to respond noticeably to minor changes in sediment and water balance driven by climatic, tectonic, or geomorphic processes. This unique behavior of lacustrine basins can provide a high-resolution record of geologic processes within the continental setting, far from the globally averaged record of marine strata. The Wilkins Peak Member of the Eocene Green River Formation, in Wyoming, USA, is dominated by aggradation of repetitive sedimentary facies successions recording distinct lacustrine expansions and contractions. These lacustrine ‘‘cycles’’ consist of up to four successive facies associations: littoral, profundal–sublittoral, palustrine, and salt pan. Because they comprise disparate facies that may never have been simultaneously deposited in the basin, Wilkins Peak Member cycles are non-Waltherian successions that do not readily equate to any established sequence stratigraphic unit. The completeness of the stratigraphic record in the Wilkins Peak Member varies continuously across the basin. At least 126 cycles are present in the ERDA White Mountain #1 core near the basin depocenter, whereas only about one third as many are recognizable 53 km north, nearer to the basin margin. Cycle boundaries terminate northward by gradual amalgamation into palustrine facies, reflecting the interplay between varying lake levels and a south-dipping deposition gradient.
