Core OL-92 from Owens Lake, southeast California

The drilling project at Owens Lake commenced in April,
1991. This Open-File Report represents an effort to make
available to other researchers our preliminary data
collected during the first year of study following
completion of the core-drilling phase. Nineteen data
collections and preliminary interpretations are presented
in the following sections. They are the work of fifteen
first-authors and their numerous co-authors. Broadly,
their topics include a field log of the core
(1 contribution), sedimentological analyses (1), clay-
mineral identification (1), geochemical analyses (5),
dating and age estimates of the cored sediments (4), and
identifications of fossil materials (7).
