Age and Depositional Environment of Miocene and Pliocene Rocks in Jackson Hole (Teton County), Wyoming
Abstract
Field work in 1982 completed the data collection for a 3-year project to study the Neogene geology and mammlian paleontology of Jackson Hole. The primary objectives are to more precisely determine the age of Miocene and Pliocene rocks in the area, and to clarify the depositional environment of the Miocene Colter Formation (Barnosky, 1980, 1981).
