Modern Sedimentary Structures (Great Salt Lake)

This past summer I embarked on the "Utah Trip" lead by the extraordinary geologist Carl Brett. We saw many things over the 15 day whirl wind, but one thing I keep going back to is our trip to the shores of the Great Salt Lake. I was blown away by the similarity of these structures to those so often seen in our local sedimentary rocks. The last photo is of some Cambrian age ripples we came across later that day for comparison of preservation in the rock record.
