The top of the cliffs are covered by (horizontal interbeds)-Moenkopi Formation (central-southeast Utah, northeast Arizona), and overlain again by (local deposits)-(resistant-en:caprock)-Shinarump Conglomerate (lowest-basal member)-Chinle Formation, (of southeast Utah, northeast Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado).

Member sequence of landforms'-geology in Monument Valley:

4--Shinarump Conglomerate-(resistant en:caprock, Chinle Formation lowest member, (local deposits only; smaller landforms overlain by Moenkopi have the Shinarump removed by erosion))
