Figure 54. Water Wells in Cedar Valley, Utah.3.167
The difference is these layers are layers of boulders, cobbles, gravels, sand, clay, water bearing sediments, and other attributes noted when the wells were drilled. There is nothing in any of these wells to indicate that some type of catastrophic event took place. Nothing recognized as being different from the type of geological processes we observe today. Unlike many of the layers which can be recognized from the Cedar Valley water well data, the layer of mud that came down Fiddler's Canyon and covered the northern part of Cedar Valley in 1967 is long gone, and is not a geological event which could be recognized today.
However, it is obvious from the topography of the mountains surrounding Cedar Mountain erosion has long been a source of material for deposition in the valley.
