Navajo Sandstone, Sandstone formation in Nevada, United States
The Navajo Sandstone spans across multiple states with light-colored cliffs and domes ranging from white to tan, forming vast geological structures.
During the Mid-Jurassic period, approximately 144 to 208 million years ago, wind-blown sand dunes created this extensive geological formation.
The formation represents geological evidence within ancestral territories of the Navajo Nation and contains numerous paleontological discoveries including dinosaur tracks.
Visitors can observe the geological features through multiple access points in national parks, with guided tours available for educational purposes.
The formation serves as the primary water aquifer in specific regions, creating a natural underground reservoir system throughout the area.
