Here in Reno...if you are up at around 7500 feet ...you can clearly see where they was a huge body of water at one time....marshlands and low lands in the south side of town. I often can picture dinos and other ancient animals hanging out there.
Cut to 2008 where theres loads of houses sinking into said marshlands....

Could that be part of Lake Bonneville? I can’t recall the area it covered, but it seems that the Humboldt Sink is part of it all.
When we were kids, we used to find shell fossils in the red soil in Central Utah. Though I was born in Reno, I was never there long enough as an adult to do any hiking.
