These sediments are thickest in the deltas that formed at the mouths of the Colorado River and its tributaries, including the Virgin and Muddy Rivers. Maximum sediment thickness exceeds 250 ft where the Colorado River enters Lake Mead, thinning to 50 - 100 feet in thickness along the remainder of the drowned Colorado River channel to Hoover Dam.

Tributary valleys have a thinner sediment cover indicating the Colorado River has been the primary sediment source. Sediments are composed of between 12 and 45 percent sand with the remainder being a mix of clay and silt. Most of the clay and silt has been transported to the deepest parts of the lake by the dense, sediment-laden currents flowing into Lake Mead from the Colorado River. Over time, sediment in the deeper parts of the lake has been compacted as additional sediment has accumulated.
