2002, Special Paper of the Geological Society of America (366) 121-148
Along 50 km of the complex, southwest-dipping, Laramide Grand Hogback monocline, which wraps around the southwest flank of the White River uplift in westcentral Colorado, detailed mapping provides evidence of late Cenozoic collapse that resulted from subsurface flow, diapirism, and dissolution of Pennsylvanian Eagle Valley Evaporite. Numerous discontinuous, small-amplitude, strike-parallel...
