Abstract:
A series of large lateral or transverse dunes occurs on the eastern margin of the Great Salt Lake desert near the village of Knolls, Tooele County, Utah. The dunes are composed primarily of gypsum crystals and cleavage fragments, oolites, with minor amounts of shell fragments and fine quartz, derived from lake waters during the waning stages of Lake Bonneville in the area of the present Great Salt Lake Desert. Size-frequency distribution data and photomicrographs demonstrate the lithologic distribution of the component minerals through the various size fractions of the dune material. In addition, the dunes were found to contain identifiable ostracods which are described and illustrated.
