Abstract
A large alkaline, saline lake, Lake T'oo'dichi', occupied the entire eastern part of the Colorado Plateau region during deposition of the Brushy Basin Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation. The lake extended from near the site of Albuquerque, New Mexico, to near the site of Grand Junction, Colorado, and occupied a region that encompassed the San Juan and ancestral Paradox basins, making it the largest ancient alkaline, saline lake known.
