Comments on Gigapan: Castle Rock Badlands, Gove County, Kansas

Castle Rock is an erosional remnant of Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Formation (Smoky Hill member) chalk, located in southeastern Gove County, Kansas. The chalk badlands at this locality owe their preservation to a caprock of Ogallala Formation conglomerates, visible atop the cliff at left and in boulders on the slope.
