南加州普拉亚斯的蒙脱石、伊利石、绿泥石和高岭石可直接追溯到盆地周围的源区。本次调查没有发现任何证据表明这些粘土矿物在钠质或钙质盐湖环境中不稳定，但这一结论可能不能直接应用于富含钾和镁的海相蒸发岩相。
Montmorillonite, illite, chlorite, and kaolinite in the playas of southern California are traceable directly to the source areas surrounding the basins. No evidence found in this investigation suggests that these clay minerals are unstable in the sodic or calcic saline lake environment, but this conclusion may not be directly applied to marine evaporite facies where the minerals are rich in potassium and magnesium.
