Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Seminoe Mountains are located in south-central Wyoming. The range is cored by Precambrian basement rocks (igneous and metamorphic rocks). Structurally-tilted Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks occur along the southern flanks of the mountains. The northern margin of the range is bounded by a major fault. Thrust faulting occurs in the southern and southwestern Seminoes.

The mountains are part of the Central Rockes (= Middle Rockies) and were uplifted during the Laramide Orogeny in the late Mesozoic and early Cenozoic.

Locality: view from the Seminoe State Park area, northern Carbon County, south-central Wyoming, USA
