Geochemical Characterization of Bouse Carbonates: Toward an Understanding of Diagenesis of Bouse Carbonates

Freshwater plumes and brackish lakes: Integrated microfossil and O-C-Sr isotopic evidence from the late Miocene and early Pliocene Bouse Formation (California-Arizona) supports a lake overflow model for the integration of the lower Colorado River corridor

“…Previous workers have argued that these similarities are entirely the result of postdepositional alteration (e.g., Lucchitta et al, 2001). Efforts to determine the degree of diagenetic alteration of Bouse carbonates are ongoing (Ferguson et al, 2017).…”
