Kayenta
Description
Source: Wikipédia
La Formation de Kayenta est une formation géologique, située près du Glen canyon dans le sud de l'Utah aux États-Unis qui s'est formée entre il y a 199,6 et 175,6 Ma, au cours du Jurassique inférieur.
Cette formation rocheuse est particulièrement importante dans le sud de l'Utah, où on peut la voir comme attraction principale d'un certain nombre de parcs et monuments nationaux comme le Parc national de Zion ou encore le Parc national de Capitol Reef. Elle forme avec le Grès de Navajo, le Grès de Wingate et la Formation de Moenave le Glen Canyon Group.
Cette formation géologique renferme de nombreux fossiles.
