Badlands National Park, USA circa 2010

Formations here contain sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, claystones, limestones, volcanic ash, and shale.

The Pierre Shale, which forms the bottommost layer of the park’s geology, was deposited 75-69 million years ago.
It is a landscape molded by both deposition and erosion; the tension is palpable and the stone is dynamic. This place is simply spectacular.
