| Title | A veined outcrop of the Niobrara Formation, North Dakota |
|---|---|
| Description | The buff-colored shale is part of the Niobrara Formation which consists of light-gray to yellowish-tan, blocky, calcareous clay. The veins seen here are thought to be gypsum. The Niobrara Formation documents a major marine transgression or onlap of the sea, resulting from a high eustatic sea level and crustal subsidence. |
