“…On the basis of cosmo genic dating (Balco et al, 2013), the upper three units are of Pleistocene age. In Soreghan et al (2007) a late Paleozoic age was posited for the basal unit, but this hypothesis remains contested (Aslan et al, 2008Hood, 2009;Hood et al, 2009). (For additional details of methods and results of coring, see Marra, 2008.…”

“…Soreghan et al (2007) proposed a late Paleozoic age for the Precambrian-hosted inner gorge of Unaweep Canyon; Soreghan et al (2008Soreghan et al ( , 2014 further suggested an initial (Paleozoic) glacial origin followed by Cenozoic fl uvial exhumation of the ancient valley. Both the Paleozoic age and glacial origin remain controversial (Aslan et al, 2008Hood, 2009;Hood et al, 2009).…”

“…Subsequent investigators have sided with either the Colorado River argument (Cater, 1955;Hunt, 1956Hunt, , 1969Lohman, 1961Lohman, , 1965Lohman, , 1981Yeend, 1969;Betton et al, 2005;Scott et al, 2001Scott et al, , 2002aSteven, 2002;Hood et al, 2002;Hood, 2011) or the Gunnison River interpretation (Dane, 1935;Cater, 1966;Sinnock, 1978Sinnock, , 1981Perry, 1989;Perry and Annis, 1990;Perry and Young, 2003;Kaplan et al, 2005;Kaplan, 2006;Soreghan et al, 2007;Marra et al, 2010). A more recent controversy involves whether the canyon existed in late Paleozoic time (Soreghan et al, 2007(Soreghan et al, , 2009a(Soreghan et al, , 2009bHood, 2009;Hood et al, 2009). However, this controversy has no bearing on the abandonment of Unaweep Canyon.…”

“…Hence, scrutiny of our data and reasoning is justifi ed. Note that we addressed several of Hood's arguments about the canyon age in a separate Reply to a Discussion of Soreghan et al (2007) (Soreghan et al, 2009;Hood, 2009). Hood et al (2009) question the age of diamictite found in an outcrop and core within Unaweep Canyon.…”

“…This is an interesting departure from Hood (2009), who attempted to refute a glacial origin for these strata, preferring an origin as a talus deposit. Regardless, Cenozoic glaciation here is inconsistent with its low elevation (Soreghan et al, 2007).…”
