Sed Structure Sunday #2 - Saturday Edition!

Well, I'm fleeing to the Gaudaloupe Mountains for a carbonate field trip, sponsored by Exxon, so I'm posting my sed structure pictures ONE DAY EARLY!



The picture above (to embiggin it, click the picture) is of some Eocene stromatolite-like mounds from the Washakie Basin (Green River Fm) in SW Wyoming. These little guys formed along the edge of a big, fairly saline lake, and as such mark a discrete geographic boundary in these ancient lake settings.

I realize that I don't have many carbonate pics; maybe I'll have some to share when I get back in a week!
