Summary[edit]
DescriptionWingate Sandstone (Lower Jurassic; Independence Monument, Monument Canyon, Colorado National Monument, Colorado, USA) 4 (23968823082).jpg |
Colorado National Monument is a colorful and scenic park just southwest of the town of Grand Junction in western Colorado, USA. It's located in the northeastern part of the Colorado Plateau Physiographic Province, a large section of continental crust that was significant uplifted during the Cenozoic. The rocks in the park are gently folded into a large monocline that has been erosionally dissected into a series of dramatic canyons. The major cliff shown above is the Wingate Sandstone (Middle Jurassic), which is the principal scenery-making unit in the park. It consists of eolian, cross-bedded quartzose sandstones deposited in an ancient sand dune field. This is Independence Monument, a differentially eroded sandstone pinnacle that is popular with climbers. A climber is present a little below the summit - note also the climbing rope and handholds/footholds carved on the sunlit part of the rock surface. The well-bedded unit at the summit of Independence Monument consists of Kayenta Formation fluvial sandstones. Locality: Independence Monument, Monument Canyon, Colorado National Monument, southwest of the town of Grand Junction, west-central Mesa County, far-western Colorado, USA |
