Sandstone and Clay


The topmost layer of rock in this image is Tropic Shale. Dropping down we find the Dakota Formation, Henriesville Sandstone, the Entrada Formation and the lowest the Carmel Formation. The softer rocks wear away and undermine the shale and erosion does the rest. This is part of the Kodachrome Basin State Park in Southern Utah.
