OVERFLOW (maybe antecedence)

"Paleo-shorelines upstream of the bedrock high"

  Wave action along the shore of a lake cuts into the bedrock and generates wave-cut terraces.  While unmistakable when preserved, they do not persist for long periods of time.  The upper image provides an example of wave cut terraces from Death Valley.  Wave action may also build up piles of sand and gravel (beach ridges) along the lake shore, and an example is provided in the lower image from Owen's Valley, California.  These features, like wave-cut terraces, are short-lived.  Because water may pond during antecedent drainage incision, these lake features are therefore possible.  However, the lakes are not likely to be as extensive as overflow related lakes. Antecedent transverse drainages are continually cutting into the rising structures if they are not deflected, and therefore preventing the formation of a large ponded body of water.
