Abstract
Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Cedar Mountain Formation (Lower Cretaceous), Eastern Emery County, Utah
Abstract
The Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation is well exposed along the west flank of the San Rafael Swell, a large Laramide anticline in central Utah. The lower Buckhorn Conglomerate Member is composed of a coarse pebble conglomerate, or sandstone with a conglomeratic base. The unnamed, upper main body of siltstone, mudstone, and sandstone represents deposition in an aggradational, meandering fluvial system with an extensive floodplain. Backswamp deposits, now represented by black carbonaceous shale, have produced new vertebrate fossil quarries. The mammals and reptiles from these locations are currently under study
