In geological time it is but a blink of the eye. However, in Indian time it
is many, many moons!
I have found obsidian chips and arrowheads all over the Southern Sierra well
away from any of the sources. The Indians must have used the Sierra as a huge
resource of food for many and many moons to have discarded and distributed so
much over such a huge area.
>From a geologist's point of view, even the dams on the Colorado are but
short, temporary structures. Throw in a few million years and they just be another
rapid, provided us humans don't throw more concrete in and dredge out the
sand and silt and mud that is filling up every reservoir on the Colorado at a
torrid rate.

""There sections of a pre-Cambrian indian trail intact in some of the
remote areas of the Colorado desert, and obsidian from Inyo county has
been found in digs near the Mexican border in Otay lakes. (southeast San
Diego) These settlements where the artifacts were found date back to at
least 10,000 years.""
It should read Pre-Columbian.
What's millions and millions of years difference though???
