  1. Some nice sets of crossbeds (angled sedimentary bedding) in sandstone (Wahweap formation, according to my field notes). The angled beds formed in a sand dune, most likely, that is preserved now in the rocks. The compass is for scale...

  2. Across the street from the scenic overlook "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/32030/) is this particular outcrop, which is a really nice view of cross beds. These structures are remnants of sand dunes (millions of years old, now preserved in the sandstone rock).

  3. ... in southwestern Utah.

  4. Continuing on Rte. 12 to the east of "On a Clear Day..." (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/32030/), the road drops down further into the Navajo sandstone - there are some great views of the bedding layers in these rocks. The angled "crossbeds" are ancient sand dunes preserved in the sandstone.
