Core KM-3, a surface-to-bedrock record of late Cenozoic sedimentation in Searles Valley, California

Abstract

of the perennial lake deposits in Searles Valley with the Sherwin Till and the McGee Till of the Sierra Nevada a reasonable relation because of the inferred hydrologic connection between these areas suggests that the Sherwin Glaciation began 1.28 m.y. B.P., waned 1.00 m.y. B.P., but did not cease until 0.57 m.y. B.P., and that the McGee Glaciation may have extended from 3.18 to 2.56 m.y. B.P.
