 California: Saline Valley
Saline Valley 1 and the Queen Imposter: In addition to obsidian designated "Saline Valley", the Saline Range has recently proven to be the origin of the so-called "Queen Imposter".
Recent analysis of Saline Valley source material by Richard Hughes has confirmed that the identity of the "Queen Imposter" source and Saline Valley 1 are one and the same (Johnson et al.
Saline Valley has been reported as the geologic source of obsidian for artifacts found at sites on Hunter Mountain (Burton 1996a; Hughes 1996a), which divides Panamint and Saline Valleys, the Inyo-White Mountains (Reynolds 1996), and at Surprise Springs in the Grapevine Mountains east of Death Valley (Burton and Farrell 1996).

 Salvaging Saline Water and Soils
Nestled in the hills of California’s San Joaquin Valley, a tranquil pond invites flocks of ruddy ducks, pintails, and shovelers to feed at its shores.
In addition to their high salinity, some ponds may contain above-normal amounts of selenium, boron, and arsenic, which can be toxic to plants, wildlife, and the many bird populations that migrate through or overwinter in the area.
Selenium shows up in the valley’s soils and waters because nearby mountain ranges are composed of marine sedimentary rocks enriched with the element.

The Eureka Valley earthquake may represent the transfer slip from the Owens Valley fault zone to the Fish Lake Valley-Furnace Creek-Northern Death Valley fault zones (Sawyer and Reheis, 1997) by left-lateral and normal faulting across Eureka Valley and Saline Valley (Dixon et al., 1995; Savage et al., 1990).

 STOP  THE  NEW  AIR  FORCE  RADAR
In fact, Saline and the Inyos came to be known as Desert Survivors’ “ancestral home”, the place where the group’s founders got their start, the place that inspired them to protect the desert and to found a group that would do so, based on the appreciation of desert wilderness as Wilderness.
Although the California Desert Protection Act, which created the Park, allows for the military to continue some operations over Park airspace as they have done in the past, it sounds to me like the Air Force is moving to make its presence in the Park permanent.
Allowing these facilities to go forward will institutionalize Death Valley Park as a permanent base for use by the military, at a time when many of us are trying to get the military out of our Parks and Wilderness, to turn our skies back to nature, where they belong.

 A geochemical analysis of the waters of Saline Valley, California (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
During my tenure, two of the most commonly asked questions were: "Is the water drinkable?" and "Where does the water come from?" Several years ago I ran away from "home" to return to school and pursue a degree in geology, and I now feel that I have the tools to answer these questions.
During Easter break in 1996 I visited the valley and took water samples from the Lower Warm Springs, Palm Springs, and the Gervais Ranch (or the Screw Bean Ranch, where Glen and Sherri Cosgrove reside).
Simply stated, all the waters represented on the graph appear to be of the same "family." That is to say, the relative concentrations of each species of dissolved ions in all of the samples are similar, proportionally to the other species of dissolved ions found in the samples.

This is a three-dimensional perspective view of Saline Valley, about 30 km (19 miles) east of the town of Independence, California created by combining two spaceborne radar images using a technique known as interferometry.
Visualizations like this one are helpful to scientists because they clarify the relationships of the different types of surfaces detected by the radar and the shapes of the topographic features such as mountains and valleys.
The high peaks in the background are the Inyo Mountains, which rise more than 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) above the valley floor.
