Case Studies. The discussion of individual studies in this paper are intended as brief summaries of important results from a variety of ancient and modern lake sediments discussed in other papers (13-16). These studies include two Paleogene lacustrine oil shales—the Green River Formation (Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming) and the Rundle Formation (Queensland, Australia). The locations of these formations are shown in Figure 3, and key characteristics of the deposits are compared in Table I. Also included are results from studies of three modern productive saline lakes (Soap Lake, Washington Great Salt Lake, Utah and Walker Lake, Nevada) and two...
