Holocene - Miocene 0 - 23.03 Ma ID: 2516392 | Pediment mantle Age: Cenozoic (0 - 23.03 Ma) Description: Light-brown to brown, gray, or locally reddish-brown, unconsolidated to well-cemented, massive to crudely bedded sediments of fluvial origin. Consists of a poorly bedded mixture of silt, sand, granules, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders derived from adjacent uplands. Chiefly siltstone and sandstone clasts. surfaces of deposits are smooth and slope gently away from the uplands. Includes deposits near present stream level that formed essentially during the Pleistocene, as well as older and higher deposits that probably began to form chiefly during either the Miocene or Pliocene. Unit ranges in thickness from about 3m (10 ft) to more than 45m (150 ft). Reference: Weiss, M.P., I.J. Witkind, W.B. Cashion.

Campanian - Cenomanian 72.1 - 100.5 Ma ID: 2937668 | Mancos Shale Age: Late Cretaceous (72.1 - 100.5 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Mancos Shale Description: Mancos Shale (Masuk Shale Mbr, Emery Sandstone Mbr, Blue Gate Shale Mbr, Ferron Sandstone Mbr, and Tununk Shale Mbr). Comments: Sandstones are prodelta (near shore) deposits into the Cretaceous marine sea in which the shale was deposited Original map source: Hintze, L.F., Willis, G.C., Laes, D.Y.M., Sprinkel, D.A., and Brown, K.D., 2000, Digital Geologic Map of Utah: Utah Geological Survey, Map 179DM, scale 1:500,000.
