Abstract

The importance of the Muddy Creek Formation in the western terminus of the Grand Canyon, implying no through-flowing river at the time of deposition of the formation, is discussed. Piping, river capture and "ancestral" river path hypotheses are reviewed. When possible, suggestions based on the Flood model or after-effects of the Flood are offered.
