Abstract

It has long been known that there was a lake in Death Valley during the Pleistocene (Lake Manly), but, because the evidence of its presence seemed meager, its age had been put at Tahoe (early Wisconsin). Later studies have suggested that the lake may have had two major stages as did Lakes Bonneville and Lahontan: the first during Tahoe time, and the second during Tioga (late Wisconsin) time. The second stage, represented particularly by Manly Terrace, the largest terrace remnant now known in the valley, is correlated with the Provo and Dendritic Terrace stages of the above-mentioned lakes.
