Pietras - Department of Geological Sciences and Environmental Studies, Binghamton University DOI: https://doi.org/10.31711/ugap.v50i.116 Abstract Mineralogy, petrographic textures, and sedimentary structures from the world’s largest trona deposit, the Wilkins Peak Member (WPM) of the early Eocene Green River Formation (GRF), Bridger subbasin, Wyoming, provide key data about depositional conditions and paleoenvironments. Based on observations of modern hypersaline lake environments, WPM evaporite deposition at the basin depocenter is interpreted to be controlled by inflow water composition and volume, evaporative concentration, and seasonally-driven lake temperature fluctuations, resulting in recurrent patterns in evaporite mineralogies and textures.	cache/geosites-116.htm	txt/geosites-116.txt
