| Title | Red-brown Entrada Sandstone (Jurassic) over the Navajo Sandstone (Jurassic) |
|---|---|
| Description | Arches National Park is famous for the sculpted Entrada Sandstone which sits on top of the Navajo Sandstone. Here we see how wind erosion has produced relief in the Entrada cliff and smoothed the outcrops of Navajo Sandstone in the foreground. Both formations are aeolian (wind/dune deposits) and are of Jurassic age. |
