Description
Third in a series ...
From the bottom up, you're seeing Moenkopi, Chinle, and Wingate Sandstone, all Triassic formations. Way up in the back is a bit of Kayenta and Navajo just to tease you. Those are Jurassic formations. You're looking at a cross section of rock that was laid down between 250 million years ago and 190 million years ago.
I promise there won't be a test! I've probably gone too far for most of you, just giving you that much information! LOL!

I have to say it is a great relief about the test.. Mind boggling numbers, and a very interesting photo.
this is lovely to see
No problem. Always up for a cross section of the earth. I wonder what critters might be found embedded in the layers.
wonderful scenery
The thought of trying to climb up there makes me feel like I am from the Jurassic Age. Nice shot!
Beautiful country and wonderful textures in those cliffs.
It is amazing with all these layers. Love the deep redbrown color.
Very lovely. BTW, for most of us a description of 'pretty red and white rock' is about all we can handle.
Very beautiful capture Tara
Yeah, I remember when that stuff was being put down :p Great delineation of geology here, wonderful shot!
Enjoying these Tara, great shots of this vast frontier land.

Beautiful Tara. I love the way you use that terminology. Haven't heard those terms since I quit working!
Yeah, my head's about to explode as it is..... :-D Absolutely spectacular, Tara! These landscapes are so fascinating, especially when you consider the eons represented by these layers.
Interesting geography.
