Last Chance Canyon

Last Chance Canyon
Last Chance Canyon The upper layers here are flat-lying, but below them, the layers begin to dip down to the right. These dipping beds were deposited on the slope of the shelf margin. Don't be fooled by the diagonal dark green vegetated stripes that go from upper right to lower left—those are fractures in the rocks where plants have taken hold. Ryan Anderson
