“…Stratigraphic sections were measured at decimeter‐scale at locations across the Elko Basin (Figure 1; cf., Canada, 2019) and were correlated using distinctive lithofacies, volcanic horizons, handheld and borehole gamma ray logs, and legacy Fischer Assay oil yield data (Moore et al., 1983). Carbonate and tuff samples were collected for geochemical analysis from several stratigraphic sections and cores (Figures 3 and 4; Table S1 and Figures S1 and S2 in Supporting Information ).…”
Lacustrine basins can collect highly detailed accounts of geochemical and sedimentologic variation resulting from tectonic and climatic forcing in orogenic landscapes, which are otherwise prone to erosion and non-deposition (e.g.,

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
