Red butte, Selja Gorges, Tunisia Cathedral Rock near Sedona, made of Permian redbeds Red beds of the Permo-Triassic Spearfish Formation surround Devils Tower National Monument. Red beds (or redbeds ) are sedimentary rocks , typically consisting of sandstone , siltstone , and shale , that are predominantly red in color due to the presence of ...
The most prolific fossil site in the red beds is the Geraldine Bonebed within the Nocona Formation of the Wichita Group. [6] During the Permian, the bonebed was the site of a freshwater pond. After a catastrophic event this became the burial site for a variety of terrestrial and marine animals. [ 15 ]
The Arroyo Formation, sometimes termed the Lower Clear Fork Formation, is a geologic formation in Texas. [1] It preserves fossils dating back to the Kungurian stage of the Permian period. [2] It is the lower-most portion of the Clear Fork Group, part of a series of fossiliferous Permian strata in the south-central United States known as the red ...

The Silurian Bloomsburg Formation is a mapped bedrock unit in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Maryland. It is named for the town of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania , in which it was first described. The Bloomsburg marked the first occurrence of red sedimentary rocks in the Appalachian Basin .
The Chugwater Formation is a mapped bedrock unit consisting primarily of red sandstone, in the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado in the United States. It is recognized as a geologic formation in Colorado and Montana, but as a Group (set of formations), the Chugwater Group, in Wyoming.
Darton assigned the lower beds of G.K. Gilbert's (since abandoned [6]) Aubrey Group to the Supai Formation, at the same time assigning the overlying gray sandstone beds to the Coconino Sandstone. [3] In 1922, L.F. Noble reassigned the uppermost shale beds of the original Supai Group to the Hermit Shale, based on the disconformity between the ...
The Casselman Formation mapped sedimentary bedrock unit in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia, of Pennsylvanian age. It is the uppermost of two formations in the Conemaugh Group, the lower being the Glenshaw Formation. The boundary between these two units is the top of the marine Ames Limestone. [2]
