- Description
- Kodels Canyon fault looking northwestward across canyon of the same name. Base of Wingate cliff on left is just about opposite the top of the Wingate on right. Here, nature was kind to the geologist, for the vertical displacement (rise of left side with respect to the right) is virtually the thickness of the Wingate Sandstone about 350 feet. The Wingate on the right is lighter colored than that on the left seemingly because rockfalls removed desert varnish rocks and exposed the true color of the sandstone. Colorado National Monument. Mesa County, Colorado. n.d.
