Category:Valentine Formation

The Valentine Formation is a geological classification for the lowest strata of the Ogallala unit. The notable feature of this strata is the unique lenticular beds of greenish opal-cemented sandstone that form landmark bluffs in the central High Plains of North America and is quarried for construction material.

Formal use of this classification has been abandoned outside of Nebraska; however, the features of this material are observed and exploited throughout the region.
