Cedar Mesa in southeastern Utah

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image shows Cedar Mesa in southeastern Utah. This is the type locale for the Cedar Mesa Sandstone, which makes up the sandstone beds capping the mesa. The red beds beneath are the lower beds of the Cutler Group, sometimes assigned to the Halgaito Formation in this area. Both are Permian in age. The Halgaito Formation records the advance of river deltas from the Uncompahgre uplift across the underlying limestone of the Honaker Trail Formation, while the Cedar Mesa Sandstone records the deposition of sand sheets across the Halgaito river valleys.
