| Description |
English: Sandstones in the Jurassic of Utah, USA.
These are eolian sandstones of the Navajo Sandstone, a thick, Mesozoic-aged unit representing ancient sand dune deposits. The Navajo is a prominent cliff-forming unit in much of western America. The coloration is from hematite (Fe2O3 - iron oxide). Laterally-equivalent units are known by other names, but are all the same deposit: Glen Canyon Sandstone, Nugget Sandstone, and Aztec Sandstone. The foreground vegetation is growing in "soil" consisting of loose, Holocene-aged, windblown sand, derived from erosion of the Navajo.
