“…More recently Sandberg (1975) has reexamined the ooids. The sediments of Lake Bonneville are similar to those of Great Salt Lake and they have been studied in two cores (Eardley and Gvosdetsky, 1960;Eardley et al , 1973).…”

“…Included in this repertoire is the reversible cessation of DNA synthesis and cell division throughout the encysted period (Nakanishi et al, 1962;Finamore and Clegg, 1969). All the foregoing document that the DNA of these cysts is stabilized and protected from autolysis (hydrolytic attack) during initial burial in the Lake sediments, which are anoxic and whose high ionic strength probably maintains cyst desiccation (Eardley and Gvosdetsky, 1960).…”

“…The final component of this system concerns The Great Salt Lake in which the presence of Artemia over periods of hundreds of thousands, possibly a few millions of years has been documented (Eardley and Gvosdetsky, 1960). Cyst production in the contemporary Lake is truly massive.…”

Abstract. We present electron microscopic observations on fragments of encysted embryos of the crustacean, Artemia sp., recovered from a 27,000 year-old core section taken under the Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah. The significance of these results comes from a consideration of the geological history of the GSL and the extraordinary properties and abundance of Artemia cysts at this site. We make the case that this unique system, and probably other salt lakes as well, provides novel opportunities for the study of "ancient DNA" and related matters. The analysis provides the major focus of this paper, which we hope will stimulate interest in this aspect of salt lake research.

“…1). Two of the analyses were made of ash samples from depths of 194 m and 197 m from a borehole drilled near Saltair, Utah (Eardley and Gvosdetsky, 1960;Eardley and others, 1973). The ash layers, which are separated by 3 m of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville sediments, are nearly identical in chemical composition.…”
