The Valley also contains a playa with a lithium deposit which is "one of the 10 largest in the world and the largest in North America, with salt deposits 2,000 feet thick." [9] NASA has used the flat ground for calibrating satellite geodesy, space-based radar, and height measurements, since the 1990s.
In addition to the lithium and boron deposits, Rhyolite Ridge is home to the Tiehm's buckwheat flower, which is found nowhere else on the planet and was declared an endangered species in 2022.
