Summary
| Description |
Sandstones & siltstones in the Jurassic of Utah, USA. (photos by William Meikle; photo stitch by Mary Ellen St. John) The principle scenery at Arches National Park consists of numerous natural arches developed in the Jurassic-aged Entrada Sandstone. The reddish-brown coloration is due to significant hematite impurity (Fe2O3 - iron oxide). In the cliffs shown above, the massive-bedded upper part is relatively hard quartzose sandstones of the Slickrock Member. The thin-bedded interval below is relatively soft interbedded siltstones and mudshale of the Dewey Bridge Member. Differential weathering and erosion of these two units results in numerous natural arches and some balancing rocks.
