However, long before the earth movements which created the <br />uplifted land masses, the region was the scene of alternate encroachment <br />and retreat of great inland seas. The sedimentary rock formations <br />underlying large portions of the basin are the result of material <br />accumulated at the bottom of these seas. <br /> <br />By the early part of the Tertiary Period, southwestern Wyoming had <br />been uplifted, and warping and faulting of the crust was beginning to <br />build mountains. The Green River Basin was formed at that time. <br /> <br />L'\ 'j - r t'" <br />I, ,"'vJ\) <br /> <br />2-3 <br />
