The Redwall Limestone is an erosion-resistant, Mississippian age, cliff-forming geological formation that forms prominent, red-stained cliffs in the Grand Canyon. these cliffs range in height from 150 m (490 ft) to 244 m (801 ft).
This left the former seafloor and upper surface of the Redwall Limestone subaerially exposed as a tropical sinkhole plain drained by west-trending, low-gradient rivers. The channels of these rivers and their tributaries eroded major drainage valleys that cut into the sinkhole plain as deep as 122 m (400 ft), 2/3 of the thickness of the Redwall ...
Vertical erosion in cliff of Redwall Limestone, upon horizontal Muav Limestone cliff. [19] The Tapeats Sandstone sits in foreground on Granite Gorge , and is seen as thinly-bedded. The slope-former above is the (dull-greenish)-Bright Angel Shale with thin, inter-bedding, as well as one resistant cliff unit.
Muav Limestone averages 505 million years old and is made of gray, thin-bedded limestone that was deposited farther offshore from calcium carbonate precipitates (see 3c in figure 1). [11] The western part of the canyon has a much thicker sequence of Muav than the eastern part. [32] The Muav is a cliff-former, 136 to 827 feet (41 to 252 m) thick ...
The Muav Limestone is a Cambrian geologic formation within the 5-member Tonto Group.It is a thin-bedded, gray, medium to fine-grained, mottled dolomite; coarse- to medium-grained, grayish-white, sandy dolomite and grayish-white, mottled, fine-grained limestone.
Muav Limestone – (dark or light gray, brown, or orange-red subcliff at base of Redwall Limestone cliff) and Bright Angel Shale (greenish slope-former), resting on Tapeats Sandstone (short, dp brown vertical cliff) (Tapeats forms the "Tonto Platform"), inner canyon, Granite Gorge.
