Talk:Lake Bonneville

message: Lake Chad is not prehistoric, and Quite a bit of the Aral Sea is still there. This technically fits the definition of a former lake, so I am replacing the category. --DanielCD 16:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

message: A map of the extent of Lake Bonneville, similar to this one from the Lake Lahontan article would be nice, If anyone can dig one up that can be used in this article. --Lethargy 03:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be good to have it in the article, but in the meantime, see Reference 1 and the External link.  SpellcheckW7 (talk) 22:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Map of the lake's boundaries

message: "Several levels of the old shorelines are still visible above Salt Lake City, along the Wasatch Front and elsewhere."  Would it be possible for someone who may have pictures of these shorelines to upload those images to this entry? I think they would be a great addition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.170.74 (talk • contribs) 
:Shouldn't be a prob. for anyone living in or near Salt Lake. The shorelines are very prominant. --DanielCD 18:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: More Pictures?

message: I just watched a show on the Science Channel that said in effect: "Lake Bonneville did not empty as a result of a natural dam breaking, but rather evaporated down to present day Great Salt Lake."
I was doubtfull of that statement, as I had learned the opposite in college geology.  Thanks, Wikipedia, for confirming what I knew.  Now, how do we break the truth to the Science Channel?
:To say that Wikipedia is unequivocally correct without doing more research to verify that the Science Channel is indeed wrong on the matter, is quite trusting (and rather stupid), especially of an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Even the research pages referenced can be wrong. Furthermore, the Great Salt Lake is not called so without due cause, it's always been attributed to evaporation that it has so much salt in it.

replies: text: Apparently you missed what the anonymous user said, which was that it was what he learned in college geology, not just wikipedia, not that that's proof. SpellcheckW7 (talk) 22:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Science Channel error? 

message: A Lake Bonneville appears on early maps of Northern California.  I am trying to figure out if it was renamed, discovered to be part of the Bay, or simply a phantom lake, akin to a phantom island.  Alas, this better known Lake Bonneville dominates research results.  I'm pretty much leaving this message as a "wanted article" notice, should anybody with knowledge or time run across it.  74.240.193.8 (talk) 01:29, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
