Abstract
Geologic, geomorphic, and geophysical analyses of landforms, sediments, and structures in conjunction with new radiocarbon (14C) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) age determinations document a revised history of flooding and recession of Lake Bonneville in Cache Valley, Idaho and Utah. The presence of wave-cut cliffs in bedrock throughout the Bonneville basin show that the Bonneville highstand was protracted. Triangular facets were cut into bedrock in the footwalls of normal faults, and were steepened significantly by wave erosion at the highest Bonneville shoreline.
