Multiple cemented channel-fill deposits from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, once buried beneath 2400 m of sediment, are now exposed at the surface in arid east-central Utah due to erosion of the less resistant surrounding material. This field guide focuses on examples near the town of Green River where there is public access to several different types of exhumed paleochannels within a small geographic region. We describe the geologic setting of these landforms based on previous work, discuss the relevance to analogous sinuous ridges that are interpreted to be inverted paleochannels on Mars, and present a detailed road log with descriptive stops in Emery County, Utah.
