	Green River (Utah) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Green River, a tributary of the Colorado, is shown highlighted on a map of the western United States.
		South of the canyon it passes the town of Green River, Utah and is joined by the San Rafael River in southern Emery County.

	Green River Formation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a series of intermontane lakes.
		The formation of the intermontane lake environment in the area during the Eocene was a result of the late Cretaceous Sevier orogeny to the west and the uplift of the Rocky Mountains during the Paleogene Laramide orogeny.
		Within the Green River Formation of southwest Wyoming in the area known as Fossil Lake, two distinct zones of very fine-grained lime muds are particularily noted for preserving a variety of complete and detailed fossils.

	Green River Formation
		The Green River Formation comprises several basins formed as part of the uplifting of the Rocky Mountains during the Lower Teritary.
		The Green River Formation is actually a heterogeneous complex of lakes differential in ecological, geological characteristics, timeframe and hence fauna and flora.
		While the Green River Formation is most known for its exquisite fish fossils, the fossil assemblage fully represents the entire Tree of Life, including stromatolites, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates (including reptiles, mammals and even primates).

		The late early to early middle Eocene age of the Green River Formation in Fossil Basin correlates with deposition of the Wilkins Peak Member of the Green River Formation in the Green River Basin, Wyoming.
		The purpose of this study was to use plant microfossils to estimate the age of the lacustrine Eocene Green River Formation in Fossil Basin, Wyoming.
		Until recently, the age of the Green River Formation in Fossil Basin was based on mammal fossils from the intertonguing Wasatch Formation (Gazin, 1959).

	fish fossils Green River Formation
		While the Green River Formation's faunal assenblage contains fossils spanning the entire Tree of Life, including stromatolites, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates (including reptiles, mammals and even primates), it is best known for its exquisite fish fossils.
		There are numerous locations worldwide that are noted for wonderous preservation of bony fishes, and the Green River formation that covers some 25,000 square miles of SW Wyoming, west Colorado and east Utah is one of them.
		The formation is one of the largest lacustrine (i.e., lake) sedimentary accumulations in the world, averages some 2000 feet thick, and spans the period 40 to 50 million years ago during the Eocene Epoch of the Cenozoic Era.

		Most of the Wasatch Formation is of early Eocene age on the basis of pollen, invertebrate and vertebrate fossils (Gazin, 1952, 1956; Oriel and Tracey, 1970), but the basal conglomerate member may be partly Paleocene (Hurst and Steidtmann, 1986), and the Bullpen member may be partly early middle Eocene (Oriel and Tracey, 1970).
		The late early Eocene Green River Formation age, as determined using Wasatch fossils, is independently corroborated by palynomorph analysis of the lower, middle, and upper units of the Fossil Butte Member of the Green River Formation (Cushman, 1983).

	MS Thesis
		The Green River Formation (Paleocene-Eocene) of the Uinta Basin, northeastern Utah, and the Piceance Creek Basin, northwestern Colorado, may exhibit cyclicity in lacustrine facies.
		The Piceance Creek Basin was bounded by the White River uplift to the northeast, the Uncompaghre uplift to southwest, and the eastern extension of the Uinta arch to the north (Figure3).
		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.

		Important because of its sampling of fantastically intact fossils from the Eocene epoch, the Green River Formation in western Colorado, eastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming showcases the petrified remnants of a large lake system.
		Of exceptional interest for amateur as well as professional paleontologists, the Green River area has offered up a diversity of findings that have contributed significantly to a much greater understanding of the subtropical environment that existed there from 40-60 millions years ago.
		There are several marked campsites along the Green River, and if you are visiting the Fossil Butte National Monument, the town of Kemmerer, located about 10 miles east of the park, has lodging, a campground and restaurants.

		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 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.
		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.

	Green River Blues
		The Green River Formation of Wyoming, USA, is familiar to geologists not only for its well-preserved fossils but also because it has come to the forefront of debate on the age of the earth.
		Critics of creationism have frequently appealed to the Green River Formation as irrefutable evidence for a multi-million-year-old earth.
		The reason is that the deposit is said to consist of several million thin layers of shale, each of which is said to represent a single season‘s deposition in an ancient lake (the coarser layers in the summer, and the finer layers in the winter).

		The basic reason for varves is that rivers run faster in the spring.
		During the rest of the year, the river is slower, and it can only carry less-coarse material.
		But in the Green River varves, the cycle has only two layers - a fine light sediment, and an even finer dark sediment.
