Summary
| Description |
Sandstones in the Upper Paleozoic of Utah, USA. This is Split Mountain in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, through which the Green River has erosionally carved a prominent canyon. The rocks are eolian sandstones of the Weber Sandstone, a thick, Pennsylvanian- to Permian-aged unit representing ancient sand dune deposits. The Weber is the principal cliff-forming unit in the park. In nearby northwestern Colorado, the Weber Sandstone occurs in the subsurface and is a petroleum reservoir for the Rangely Field. The Rangely has produced over 900 million barrels of oil in its lifetime.
