  1. Tectonics of the Eastern Great Basin Tyler Szwarc and Mark Gorenc

  2. The Great Salt Lake Basin • Bounded by normal faults that reach up down to 5 km into the crust. • Cenozoic sediments fill the grabens up to 10,000 feet. • Cenozioc sediments include sandstone, siltstone, conglomerates, tuffs, and salt deposits. • The GSL is located on top of Cenozoic sediments and above several normal faults.
