I stood staring—a group of strangers milled to the edge of a giant gash... I thought—if one fell—would they splat or splash—or both? God help me if it's both...

Photography is The Most Lethal Activity at Grand Canyon National Park https://petapixel.com/2024/08/15/photography-is-the-most-lethal-activity-at-grand-canyon-national-park/ #thegrandcanyon #grandcanyon #selfiedeath #News

I’ve posted about the Great Unconformity several times now (and you still must capitalize it), and had the chance to see it when visiting the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area in Las Vegas.

After almost 5 years, I didn’t trust I’d be able to find it again. I decided to search Google maps and sure enough, there it was. Thank you to the wonderful person who put it on the map, and thank you Google for adding it! See the location below.

In the last picture it is in the rocks near the left of the picture where the trail can be seen and the metal sign is standing (zoom in). They are the same rocks layers known as the Great Unconformity at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in an easily accessible part of Las Vegas. You’re welcome.

The Great Unconformity

Refresher:
Tapeats Sandstone - 525 million years old
Vishnu Schist - 1.7 billion years old
Time Gap of 1.2 billion years = The Great Unconformity

In the supreme flaming glory of sunset the whole canyon is transfigured as if the life and light of centuries of sunshine stored up in the rocks was now being poured forth as from one glorious fountain, flooding both earth and sky." - John Muir
